2021 Schneider Family Book Award Young Children's Honor Book
(American Library Association) Experience the true story of
lifelong activist Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins and her participation in
the Capitol Crawl in this inspiring autobiographical picture book.
This beautifully illustrated story includes a foreword from
Jennifer and backmatter detailing her life and the history of the
disability rights movement. This is the story of a little girl who
just wanted to go, even when others tried to stop her. Jennifer
Keelan was determined to make a change-even if she was just a kid.
She never thought her wheelchair could slow her down, but the way
the world around her was built made it hard to do even simple
things. Like going to school, or eating lunch in the cafeteria.
Jennifer knew that everyone deserves a voice! Then the Americans
with Disabilities Act, a law that would make public spaces much
more accessible to people with disabilities, was proposed to
Congress. And to make sure it passed, Jennifer went to the steps of
the Capitol building in Washington DC to convince them. And,
without her wheelchair, she climbed. ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP! A
