This is a great nonfiction read that shares the story of one of the most influential disability rights activists in the United States, Judy Heumann.
Reads very narrative-like, making this an accessible story for a wide range of readers.

How can we possibly know someone else's story unless we listen? It takes just one person to stand up against an entire government. Activism makes a difference.

Really good, short (4 hours audio) book about the beginning of disability rights and a short bio on Judith Heumann. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in learning more about disability rights.

This is a really nicely paced, middle grade memoir, sharing the story of Judith Heuman, who was truly remarkable. She passed away this year, and the world is a bit worse for it. She was instrumental in the strides that have been made for disability rights, and her clear-eyed dedication to changing the world in the face of ridiculous odds is exactly the kind of leadership we still need today. Her ability to build a coalition, and to imagine and build a future that the rest of the world pretended it wasn’t ready for is a story that should be shared with everyone.
