WHAT IS DISABILITY BOOK WEEK?
Disability Book Week, which will take place from April 23-29 each year, is time in which individuals all over the world are invited to become more inclusive with what they read! We encourage everyone to read a book that either features a main character with a disability or is written by and author with a disability.
Frequently asked questions
How do I participate?
It is easy! For individuals, pick up a disability inclusive book, and read it. Submit a review of the book, and talk about disability inclusion with your friends and family. For libraries, schools, and bookstores, consider setting up a display of inclusive books or hosting an author with a disability for a reading
