Summary

"It's always cool to see someone like you on a TV or movie screen or read about them in a book. But not everyone gets this chance as much as others do! It's been a slow process to see more diverse characters with disabilities in various forms of media, but there has been progress in recent years. This engaging book examines the history and impact of disability representation, along with possibilities for the future, with full-color photos and fact boxes highlighting milestones throughout the way"-- Provided by publisher.
