I read this in honor of Disability Pride Month and it did not disappoint. Part essay, part memoir, I loved to hear about the author's experience with cerebral palsy and how fairy tales shaped her childhood, and subliminally, her perceptions of disability. It is a reminder that the stories we tell ourselves and each other do matter and have an impact. Worth a reread as well.
