I'm thankful that life is much better for other people with physical challenges. My mother had a traumatic brain injury after a fall a few years ago. I've come to the conclusion that still have a long long way to go to deal with the ramifications of cognitive (invisible) disability.

I think that it's awesome the way good literature can be used as a way to build connections and relationships. It looks like you've been able to experience these books in a very personal and meaningful way with your daughter.

Congratulations to your daughter for making the cut for state. That is something to celebrate big time! I love all these books, too, am amazed at the way some persevere through a hard thing until they succeed. I have a niece with cerebral palsy, and she would love the quote, "being disabled does not mean being unable".
