This is an important collection of essays written by people with a variety of disabilities. The authors span a range of experiences, including folks with mobility challenges, vision and hearing loss, mental health diagnoses, and much more. 

Each story has a different purpose. Some are meant to celebrate the diversity of humanity. Others aim to shed light on the ways our society could be more inclusive and supportive of everyone. Many are a blend of both. As humans we experience both joy and pain, but the variations of those experiences are stories that need to be shared. 

Recommended for young adults, this is an excellent collection of mini-memoirs.
