Reading Series on Disability for Teachers and Young Adults
The first volume The Power Chair Pole Vaulter from Paluga County is for high school and elementary students. The stories range from personal adjustment to acquired disability in Trophies to how society reacts to disability in The Power Chair Pole Vaulter from Paluga County. The fable The Kingdom of If Only raises issues about how rules affect access to technology. The sci-fi story of Hokey Pokey deals with perspective in living with a disability. The Elegant Year is about a teenage girl who has to deal with being away from school after an injury and how her mother helps her. The themes of family and society run through most of the stories and provide ample room for discussion.
The second volume Grandpa’s Tree is for elementary, middle and older students. It contains three short stories about children with disabilities that are suitable for teaching disability awareness and themes of inclusion. Grandpa’s Tree deals with how a mother and son deal with his paralysis after a fall; Transcontinental Dissonance imagines a world where wheelchairs are the norm; and First Word War features an elf who helps a boy with dyslexia embrace his need for assistive technology.
A third volume aimed at college students will be published shortly.
The books are available on Amazon.
