July is Disability Pride Month! I’m disabled and I’ve got pride! Earlier this month I did a post on mental health disabilities because there was no way I could fit all my picks in one post. Some of these books overlap between physical and mental disabilities.
While I think we should be reading from and about disabled voices all year long, I have been making a conscious effort to read more in the month of July just as I do in June for Pride.
