Emily Included (2011)

Emily Included
Written by Kathleen McDonnell
A friend of mine, Kaidi, recently told me about a new disability-related children's book that is being published in October of this year.  It is called Emily Included, written by Kathleen McDonnell, and it is about a young girl with severe cerebral palsy who fights to be educated in a "regular" classroom.  Although I have not been able to get my hands on this book just yet, I am really excited to read it as the story is based on the real life of a girl named Emily Eaton.  Emily seems like quite the role model for children with (and without) disabilities!  Look out for upcoming posts on Emily Included if you are interested in learning whether this book can be classified as inclusive!  In the meantime, you can check back regularly on Kathleen McDonnell's website to read about the progress of her book.  Happy Reading! :)
