A review by librarybonanza
Roll with It by Jamie Sumner
3.0
Age: 3rd-6th grade
Food: Baking
Identity: Cerebral palsy (written by mother of child with CP), autistic friend
Tough Issues: Grandfather with early stage dementia, new kid at school
Excellent story about the new girl adjusting to a new school with a strong cast of personality-rich characters and a scrumptious inclusion of Ellie's baking passion.
Unfortunately, because this was written by a parent of a disabled child the true representation and experiences of a child with CP may not be entirely accurate. Currently (June 2020), some professional & blog reviews take this into account but believe the experiences, admission of hardship, and depth of Ellie's character make this one a winner for disability representation.
