Disabled Fables


Title: Disabled Fables

Authors/Illustrators: Members of L A Goal

Genre: Fables

Summary of book: This is a collection of well known fables retold by adults with disabilities. The stories reflect the individuals retelling each tale. Artwork is also done by these individuals to reflect their personal connection with the stories.

Characters: a variety of characters from many different fables

Reader's comments: I think this is a great way to approach diversity. The book appeals to adults and kids alike, both with and without disabilities. The stories are connected on some level to each author, and I think children tend to make connections with the stories as well. The artwork is something that can be duplicated in the classroom if desired.
