I'm a special education teacher in Washington, DC and I'm always looking for books and other literature that include people with disabilities to share with my students. I will definitely use some of the books discussed during the show in my classroom. Until recently many of the books including children with disabilities that my students have been exposed to have only shown "disability" or "special needs" using characters in wheel chairs. None of my students can relate to this kind of disability. In fact, most of my students have learning disabilities that are not easily recognizable to the eye. This doesn't make them any less worth including in literature however. I agree fully with your guest today. Images of children with all sorts of disabilities should be the norm in books because children with disabilities are an important part of our world. All children, regardless of their disability, should be able to see positive images of people like them in books, media and other literature. Thank you for doing this show.

I currently have Shoe Baby from the library (and am a fan of Polly's work -- her daughter, that is), and I just had no idea. I used to work with deaf children (and have worked as a sign language interpreter as well); the work of In The Picture sounds great. Thanks! I had no idea Joyce Dunbar was deaf.
