HIT: books about disAbilities for K-5

Thank you to everyone who sent me suggestions.  I've enjoyed previewing a lot

of these selections and am looking forward to looking at many more of them.
Clearly, there are lots of books that include disabled characters...we might
want to
consider including more of them in our collections.

I tried to organize the titles loosely by categories...hope that will help as
you
peruse the list.
