Sympathy card

It has become my habit to make my own greeting cards, usually featuring some kind of quirky image and joke. The exception, of course, is sympathy cards. In that case, I prefer a simple image of nature and a saying or Bible verse.

Pick 6: Disabled characters

Fiction opens a door for the reader into life for other people. It helps us to understand the ways that we are all the same and the unique struggles some people face. Over the years I've tried to pay attention to the representation of various minority groups in youth fiction. The list I've curated this month includes protagonists with disabilities.

Six new books about disabled characters published in the past six months:

  1. The Christmasaurus by Tom Fletcher
  2. Last Pick by Jason Walz
  3. Love Like Sky by Leslie C Youngblood
  4. Sincerely, Harriet by Sarah Winifred Searle
  5. Song for a Whale by Lynne Kelly
  6. Squint by Chad Morris
