Please excuse me getting on my soapbox for a minute, but I saw that the #DynamicDs prompt for today is #DifferentlyAbled

Can we just not with the “differently abled” language? I‘m disabled. So is my sister, my cousin, and some of my friends. I‘ve been a part of disability groups politically/professionally. We either use “disabled” or “person w/ a disability.”

Tagged is good if you want to learn. Pic of sister‘s invisibly disabled cat for tax.

shortsarahrose Here‘s a pretty good summary about why you should use disabled rather than differently abled: https://www.betterup.com/blog/differently-abled 2w

shortsarahrose Thank you @lil1inblue 💜 This is why I love Litsy - people are open to talk and learn (rather than just argue like every other social media site). I know I‘ve learned from others on here over the years. 2w

Mehso-so

3 ⭐ This book is fine. The illustrations are soft and dreamlike and while the story does rhyme and does have a cadence, that cadence is soft in areas. The story‘s about how everyone‘s different and that is perfectly OK because everyone is who they were made to be. I like the message in this book and overall it works well. But to me it‘s only so so.

You're So Amazing! | James Catchpole, Lucy Catchpole

4 ⭐ Joe is a little boy. A little boy who is tired of being considered amazing. He‘s just a normal kid. He‘s no more amazing than his best friend. But he constantly gets told how amazing he is. What Joe is is a one-legged student. Joe is different but being different is normal. Being different is not amazing. Save amazing for when things are amazing. The message in this book is fantastic. The message is treat me like everybody else.

LibrarianRyan Treat me as normal. I am as normal as can be. I just do things differently. Make disabilities normal not amazing or not something to fawn over. This book is excellent and so are the illustrations. 3mo

The World Needs More Purple People | Kristen Bell, Benjamin Hart
Pickpick

4 ⭐ This book sounds like Kristen Bell. It does have a co-author in Benjamin Hart, but it feels like Kristen Bell. The woman you see in interviews, in movies, on podcasts. This feels like her. The book is mainly about being yourself and helping others and the more you do that the more purple you become. That we are all better together when we help everyone else out. I love this. It‘s a nice concept. The idea is there. I think it‘s presented well.

LibrarianRyan It is overly long. Something more used for school than Storytime necessarily. I think this book is well done with the speech variables versus the words of the story. The illustrator Daniel Wiseman has done a fantastic job. This book is fun from beginning to end.
