This book is a biography about a girl named Judy Heumann. She has been such an inspiration to disability people all around the world. She fought most of her life to get her voice heard and advocate for those who were disabled and not able to go to school. She only felt included at a summer camp for the disability. She made connections and made herself known to the state and federal government about getting changes made for disability people.
“All they were hearing was NO! NO! NO!“ This quote shows how Judith was being discriminated against.
I think that this is a really cool book. It has both young adult reading and young readers coming together and meshing with the pictures and with the information in the text. I recommend this book to students who are learning about activism.
pickThis biography is about the life of Judith Heumann and all their accomplishments in activism for those with disabilities. This book is presented as a picture chapter book and the illustrations are done in a collage-like way which adds a lot to the the information of the book.
pickThis YA fiction book based on true events was such a powerful read.
Two high school students protest an assignment about Hitler and the Final Solution. The impact this has on not only the school, but the community around it shows how important it is to stand up for what's right.
pick4 ⭐This was a great biography of Judith human. Judith was the main drive-in getting disability laws passed that made sure that people with any type of disability have the same freedoms as those with no disabilities. It would ensure that anyone or any entity, who receives money from the federal government, must make things ADA or handicapped accessible. This is a fantastic biography because it points out all the time Judith was told no.
pick4 ⭐ This is a lovely picture book history of Clara Luper. This is a bit longer and meant more for kids in school rather than bedtime reading. It is interesting and entertaining and a great way to learn of a figure in American history.
pick#JanuaryJazz Day 18: #MLKDay While not a biography per se, visual allusions to this can be seen on each page. It is more a gentle encouragement to young readers on how they can also become a king, fashioned after Dr. King‘s dream and life‘s mission. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-n1j
