Essays adapted from an edition originally published for adults feature a diverse group of disabled advocates and writers. Voices across race, sexuality, and gender invite readers into their personal stories and perspectives. Maysoon Zayid describes how cerebral palsy technically exempts him from fasting for Ramadan, but that he did so anyway for several years until his shaking reached the point he realized it was no longer safe. Now he reminds Muslims to respect fasting differences and individual choices. Shoshana Kessock describes the intersection of her work as a writer with her bipolar disorder, and Jamison Hill discovers love and empathy with a woman who also has myalgic encephalomyelitis. Grouped in four sections titled Being, Becoming, Doing, and Connected, this collection offers an exceptional range of voices. (Age 12 and older)
