So do their siblings.
We compiled a few lists of books... Books with characters who are strong and brave, clever and curious, cheeky and lovable. And, in all of these books, one of the main characters just happens to have a disability. Kids who have no experience with people with disabilities can learn from these books, too.
Some of the books are written for parents and carers.
Some of the books may no longer be in print.
We have not read all of these books, and accessed reviews from various sources.
(We've posted these pages separately, but for ease, this post has links to all the books. If you know of other great books, let us know and we will update the list.)
