Belonging, adaptability, and disability

A collective voice anchors this picture book’s celebration of disabled children and the many ways they experience the world. Its central idea of “scrappiness” connects the barriers children can face when the world does not make space for them with creativity, resourcefulness, and adaptability. The description also highlights illustrations depicting a diverse group of children living, learning, and playing, placing everyday activity alongside an affirmation of disabled children’s worth and belonging.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children with disabilities seeking affirming stories about belonging and self-worth.
  • Disabled and non-disabled readers interested in stories about different experiences of the world.
  • Families and educators looking for a children’s book that explores disability and inclusion.

Book overview

We are the scrappy ones. / We live, we adapt, we defy. / Made of stardust and grit, we are spectacular.

Children with disabilities experience the world in all kinds of ways. Yet one thing they share is navigating a world that doesn't always make space for them as they are. Existing on the edges can feel unfair--and downright exhausting. And at the exact same time, it can also foster creativity, resourcefulness, and adaptability. In a word, scrappiness.

Author and disability advocate Rebekah Taussig has written a groundbreaking anthem of belonging that celebrates the wide range of disabled children and affirms their worth, just as they are. Luminous illustrations by Kirbi Fagan portray a diverse cast of characters living, learning, and playing. A warm, joy-filled book for disabled and non-disabled readers alike.
