A Time to Dance by Padma Venkatraman
This book is written in verse and I LOVE that about it! Veda is an aspiring dancer, she wins a competition, and on the way home she is in a car accident that makes her a below the knee amputee. She spends the rest of the book learning to walk again, getting a prosthesis, learning to dance, finding the dancer within, and coming to love her changed body. There are so many important themes and conversations and ideas throughout the book. This book is truly special.
This book is for #ReadDisabled2024 prompt of Young Adult, Middle Grade, or Children's Book with a Disabled Main Character
