Welcome to Litsy!

It looks like the second book, Theory of Happiness isn't quite on Litsy yet. I really enjoyed the character exploration we get in this second volume as Tai explores career options in accessibility and Kohei works to understand the ways an inaccessible society have impacted his behavior and social relationships over time. Some very sweet moments in their relationship growth as well. #manga #LGBTQIA #DisabilitiesRep

Clementine and found-family escape the mainland for a while and experience what zombie life is like on an island. We really dive even deeper into the characters' want for safe, stable home as they establish spaces that are their own for the first time. We also get a great look at their developing relationships in this volume. #Lgbtqia #Comics #Zombies #DisabilitiesRep

Zombie stuff is almost never my cup of tea, but I really enjoyed this graphic novel. The horror elements are minimalized and the character development and growth is outstanding. I also really enjoyed seeing the characters take to the mountains to escape their usual reality of lower elevations. #DisabilitiesRep #LGBTQIA #Jewish #Amish

I was pretty excited to read this for it's queer and blind rep, but it was a bit disappointing. It feels underdeveloped, and the relationship feels extremely forced and some things were a bit uncomfortable. This fit for my disappointing book prompt for #RushathonChristmasBingo. #LGBTQIA #manga #DisabilitiesRep

Absolutely beautiful illustrations accompany inclusive and we'll composed information about each of these people who achieved or are achieving success in their field and laid major stones for disabilities rep. I enjoyed learning about so many different people from around the world with carried backgrounds, many of whom are alive and achieving today. #DisabilitiesRep #Inclusivity #PictureBook

This simple picture book conveys someone‘s grief at losing their ability to walk followed by their joy as they discover new ways to do things. It doesn‘t delve too deep into the character‘s feelings beyond being happy or being sad, but overall seems to convey the intended message. I liked that the author included a blurb about his own accident and experience with learning to adjust to using a wheelchair. #disabilitiesRep

Emmanuel‘s story of fighting ableism is well conveyed in this picture book. The author effectively shows Emmanuel‘s adaptive solutions that help him get to school and participate in sports while at the same time showing Emmanuel‘s observations about people with disabilities being excluded from Ghana society and how these factors all contributed to Emmanuel‘s 400 mile ride across the country to raise awareness. #DisabilitiesRep #PictureBook

Shane makes great use of humorous narrative and images to open a dialogue with kids about living with spinal muscular atrophy. He points out ways he‘s just like anyone else, and explains some of the things he does to adapt to his body‘s needs. I thought this was a really well done book. Shane knows his audience well! #DisabilitiesRep #PictureBook

Low pick. When I was in elementary school, our librarian read this to us and used it to spark a conversation about dyslexia. I remember enjoying the book and being glad I didn‘t have dyslexia because school was already hard enough. In high school I figure out that I do have dyslexia. Rereading this book, I can see why I didn‘t quite make the connection. It‘s a bit vague. #PictureBook #Dyslexia #DisabilitiesRep

Zulay‘s difficulty facing learning how to use her cane ahead of the field day marathon is conveyed thoughtfully. I enjoyed the art style and overall pace of this book. #PictureBook #DisabilitiesRep
