Great Books about Disabilities and Differences
Our friends at Napa Bookmine have put together this wonderful selection of books about disabilities and differences. There is a section for kids and teens, and another section for adults. They also have a non-profit! The Napa Bookmine Literary Foundation is on a mission to provide FREE books to kids and families in Napa who need them. If you are ever in need of free books for your home you can fill out a book request form or email them directly at info@napabookmineliteraryfoundation.org and they will work with you to get you the books you need.
