We Move Together

Description

We Move Together is a plain-language picture book (with an accompanying video and learning guide) about a group of children with mixed abilities navigating the world. The content focuses on barriers to accessibility, cross-disability solidarity, advocacy, and interdependence; it also foregrounds disability justice, community, and activism.

The cover of We Move Together, which features the book title. On an orange background, there is a drawing of the lower half of five figures' bodies. It shows the legs of people of different races, some in a wheelchair, some with a cane, and a guide dog's legs.

Recommendations

The strengths of this resource are:

  • the plain language
  • the learning guide, historical information, and vocabulary are all of high quality
  • accessible activities, discussion guides, and talking points
  • engagement with and representation of intersectional identities and perspectives

Users should note that:

  • the resource is not yet available in non-English languages

We think these things could help:

  • a learning guide PDF that works for screen readers and is available in multiple languages
  • learning objectives at the beginning of the learning guide, listed under each theme
