We Are the Scrappy Ones
by Rebekah Taussig
This is such a lovely new picture book! I've read the author's autobiography about her life and disability as a topic in general years ago, so I was excited when I heard about this. It's so cute, the images are soft but bright and joyful, and sport a diverse cast of characters of all abilities, races, genders, etc. And the words? My goodness. As someone with disabling chronic illnesses, so much of it hit home and the entire time I was thinking to myself "everyone needs to read this to their kids!" I think it's going to become a favorite of disabled children since it's encouraging and realistic, and hopefully nondisabled people as well for what they learn and absorb. My fave page that I think all people, disabled and nondisabled can learn from, said: All of this-this living, this adapting, this defying-can be exhausted. There's no shame in feeling it. When you need a break, take it. Rest like a cat curled up in a patch of sunshine.
