Mission Statement

I am Lindsey Larsen, a mother, occupational therapist, educator, author, and military spouse. 

My oldest daughter survived a massive stroke at birth, resulting in a variety of disabilities. She brings absolute joy to everyone who interacts with her! 

Having the deep desire for others to understand her and engage with her, as well as having witnessed the powerful impact a quick conversation about disabilities or medical conditions can have, I published my first children’s book to educate young children and their caregivers about disabilities and inclusion. 

Disability-inclusive books have an amazing dual ability that goes beyond education! Diversity in literature also allows all individuals to identify with characters. It is really no surprise to me that my favorite adult novel includes a character who happens to be a mother of a child with disabilities! We should all have books we can relate to!

It is an honor to help propel the important message of disability inclusion and diversity in literature forward!

Rebecca created Wheellustrated Tales in 2021 to write and publish picture books with the goal of normalizing disabilities in children’s literature. 

Rebecca has since published two books in "The Adventures of Incredi-Wheels & Triple S" Series - "The Mysterious Missing Book" & "The Lemonade League" (which have both been translated to Hebrew). 

She holds degrees in both Early Childhood Education (B.A. Yeshiva University) & Literacy (M.A. Teachers College, Columbia University), and has experience teaching English as a Second Language.

Originally from New York, Rebecca now lives in Modi’in, Israel with her husband and two children. 

Rebecca Eisenberg is a certified speech and language pathologist (SLP) dedicated to helping individuals with complex communication needs across the lifespan. 

As a children's book author and literacy advocate, she is passionate about creating and sharing children’s literature featuring characters with diverse abilities and differences. 

She has created numerous games and workbooks published by Super Duper Publications. Explore her work at www.lifeskills2learn.com.

Thank you for your interest in this exciting project!

I have two children with rare genetic disorders. They are non-verbal, have moderate intellectual disability, brittle bones, metabolic disorders, and are the absolute sweetest girls you will ever meet, with smiles that light up the room.

I want every person, disabled or not, to find a character they can identify with. I want children to be exposed to books that normalize disability and understand that every life is valuable. Finally, I wanted and opportunity to cheer on authors with disabilities in their careers! Supported by an outstanding team of disability advocates, I present: Disability Book Week, a celebration of disability inclusion and diversity in literature!

Happy Reading!

Disability Book Week was Founded in 2021
