pickTrack manga! I borrowed this for the boys (it was in the teen section) and ended up loving it too. A promising young soccer player gets into a car accident, loses a leg, is jaded. Track comes into his life. Love that it focuses on para-athletics and prosthetics.
pickThis got me out of my reading slump and then I turned back to the beginning and read it again. Detailed expressive panels and a story about a queer disabled teen attending her first comic convention with her supportive, geeky mom. I loved it all! I get the sense this was published first in Australia and just came out in the US? It was on display at my indie bookstore as having won an ALA award (Stonewall) this year.
pickJessica tells her story through her POV and that of her new service dog, who is determined to do well in his new role. It seemed like an accessible mode of storytelling for kids. I also thought it was interesting that Jessica left her injury cause out of the narrative, opening up more connections for kids with disabilities from a variety of causes. #DisabilitiesRep #ServiceDog #PictureBook
pickThe running dream is about a girl named Jessica Carlisle who got in a bus accident on the way to a cross country meet and lost her leg. One of her friends died but everyone else survived. When Jessica's doctor says she won't be able to run again, Jessica believes him and gives up.
pickRunning was the only thing that made Jessica feel most alive.So when she loses a leg in a tragic accident, she is devastated. The doctor told her that she‘ll walk again with a prosthetic limb,but to Jessica that‘s cold comfort.Walking isn‘t running; just standing up made her shake .Jessica struggles and struggles to get back into life but as she‘s struggling she gets to know a girl named Rosa.
