Track manga! I borrowed this for the boys (it was in the teen section) and ended up loving it too. A promising young soccer player gets into a car accident, loses a leg, is jaded. Track comes into his life. Love that it focuses on para-athletics and prosthetics.

This got me out of my reading slump and then I turned back to the beginning and read it again. Detailed expressive panels and a story about a queer disabled teen attending her first comic convention with her supportive, geeky mom. I loved it all! I get the sense this was published first in Australia and just came out in the US? It was on display at my indie bookstore as having won an ALA award (Stonewall) this year.

willaful Grrr... dashed to my library to find this for my daughter and they have it on order but only in digital. 2y

Jessica tells her story through her POV and that of her new service dog, who is determined to do well in his new role. It seemed like an accessible mode of storytelling for kids. I also thought it was interesting that Jessica left her injury cause out of the narrative, opening up more connections for kids with disabilities from a variety of causes. #DisabilitiesRep #ServiceDog #PictureBook

The running dream is about a girl named Jessica Carlisle who got in a bus accident on the way to a cross country meet and lost her leg. One of her friends died but everyone else survived. When Jessica's doctor says she won't be able to run again, Jessica believes him and gives up.

Tgilbert If you like books with sports and action this book would be perfect for you. This book is written in first person pov because Jessica tells her story on how she recovers from her injury. 2y
