Excellent book by a blind author about what the current landscape and culture of disability looks like in Canada and the United States. Comprehensive, in as much as any book about personal disability can be, yet also very accessible. Good pictures, pacing for young readers. Great real-life examples and in-depth sidebars through out. She's a very likable narrator, who doesn't shed the personal impact in a nonfiction book.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.I love that there is a book that's dedicated to talking about disabilities with young people in mind. I definitely think it's more of a high school level book; I wouldn't expect younger grades to read it. I enjoy the fact that multiple disabilities were talked about, and that history and language were brought into the conversation. I love the drawings that were worked in with actual pictures, which would definitely appeal to a younger audience. I do wish more authors were brought in to talk about their personal experiences with different disabilities at length. All in all, it was an informative book with great representation, and I think that's already a big step forward in educating folks about disabilities.… (más)
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.I would generally recommend this book for teens 13+. It is written more like textbook with lots of text and lots of quality information. I think anyone younger would not want to read that much. But it covers history and personal experiences and gives a well-rounded approach to the "disability experience." In all, this is a great book for high school collections.
