Tell a story Tuesday

 I am  going to try  and start  something     blog  world  and  i need your  help. I am going to  try and   recommend  books on the disability  experience.   If you  have any   good  books  in this  category  leave a comment  and who  knows   your  recommendation may lead to  a  post on that book   now  for my  first book  Accidents of  Nature.

 Accidents of  Nature   is  such a great   book  it  is about   a  teenager  with  CP who  goes  to a camp  for    all  kinds of  kids   with disabilities.  Set in  the  summer  of 1970  it     talks  about    stereotypes that    the disabled community  has to  face.  The  characters  are   well  written and  their are a lot  of things to think about  after  you  put the  book  down.      This  is  by  far  one of the  best books on disabilities  I have ever  read

I have really been enjoying Tom Coogan's thesis.

In there he talks about

My left foot by Christy Brown

Under the clock by Christopher Nolan

I raise my eyes to say yes by Ruth Sienciewicz-Miller

and Still me by Christopher Reeve.

The book that you recommended is a good one.

Really wish I could think of some fiction books.

Accidents of Nature IS good. I own it. How about reading Eli the Bipolar Bear or All Cats have Aspergers they are both good books--and short
