Valerie,
Thanks for the great list!
I just reviewed all 1,200+ books in our collection marked Disability Related
and noticed that "Joni" was missing also.
So, maybe the ADA Celebration contribution by Bookshare Volunteers ought to be
a coordinated campaign to add books related to disability during the month of
August. Anybody want to lead that effort?

Oh, gosh, dozens! Let me pick some others might not think about and some we
have added. I have to say, though, one of my favorites is a child's book
written by our very own Maureen Pranghofer! She wrote a wonderful children's
books, "Ally's Busy Day" that fellow volunteer Debby Franson sent us to add to
the collection. I scanned it and Doug wrote the picture descriptions. So,
having said that, here are a few:
Ally's Busy Day by Maureen Pranghofer
Stuck in Neutral by Terry Trueman
Cruise Control by Terry Trueman
Karen by Marie Killilea
With Love from Karen by Marie Killilea
Choices...Changes by Joni Eareckson Tada (I am stunned her original Joni is not
in the collection!)
The Other Side of The Mountain by E.G. Valens
Maida's Little Shop by Inez Haynes Irwin
Evan Early by Rebecca Hogue Wojahn
Inner Views From my Culture by Audrey Abell
Mommy, What is Deaf? by Nikki Sian-Leigh Aksamit
It's $5 Extra for Cerebral Palsy By Marie Lucerne with help from Anthony
Aversano
Backstairs at the White House by Paul Dubov and Gwen Bagni
That's as good as I can do for now. LOL
