No Thanks We're Booked


Sep 5, 2018

In today’s episode, Kenzie, Mollie’s IRL friend, avid reader, and Special Education Teacher joins us to talk about disability representation in books. We discuss great books where the main characters have a disability, some not so great books, and we discuss the need for more disabilities represented across genres, and done well. Kenzie also loves Anne of Green Gables, so we gush about our favorite carrot top and try not to leave Mollie behind (who was four pages into reading the book while recording).
