- Synopsis
- Shelley Nixon loves to laugh, to write stories and poetry, and to challenge herself. In this heartfelt autobiography, she tells readers how she does all this while confined to a wheelchair and living with all the other challenges of cerebral palsy. She writes about her experiences with cerebral palsy from a medical, emotional, and social point of view. Through this book, she hopes that people without obvious physical disabilities will come to learn how to see people with physical disabilities as people firstly and as disabled secondly. Because Shelly chooses to share her poetry and other writings with her readership, the reader comes to view her as a creative person with universal feelings and experiences that often transcend her disability. This book is easy for children to read, and understand, and reading it will help adults learn about how a person with a disability thinks and feels.
