"Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth, Jennifer Keelan grew up battling-and overcoming-the limitations others set for her. From a lack of cutaway curbs and bus lifts to being denied enrollment at her neighborhood school, Jennifer was continually blocked from living the life she wanted. But after discovering the world of disability rights activism, she knew she had to use her voice to change things. When Jennifer was just eight years old, she participated in the Capitol Crawl. The deeply affecting image of Jennifer crawling up the steps of Capitol Hill went viral and helped pressure Congress into passing the Americans with Disabilities Act. A powerfully illustrated biography of Jennifer's life and a celebration of youth activism, All the Way to the Top will teach all children that they have the power to make a difference"--… (altro)

This book would be a good one for Intermediate Readers.
This book is about a girl in a wheelchair that fought for greater accessibility for herself and others in building requirements. It is encouraging and growing in perspective for the many obstacles that she faces daily.
This would be a great book to bring perspective within a classroom. It could also be an encouragement to all students as they becone greater aware at the ways that their individual voices and persistence can make big differences in our world.

All the Way to the Top can be used in an elementary level classroom as a powerful read aloud. This book goes through the story of a boy with a disability and his struggles with it. This book can teach students about disabilities, especially physical disabilities and what they look like. (

This story was about a girls journey to overcoming adversities such as her disability, and participating in protests to create change. I thought that this story was inspirational, and would be good to include in the classroom to talk about.

Great true story about a young girl standing up for herself and others to create an inclusive space within schools for children with disabilities. Book shows a great amount of inclusion for disabilities and what it looks like to stand up for something you believe in. This is a great book if I was looking for a story about disabilities and I love that it's based on a true story. I could see a use for this in both primary and intermediate classrooms!
