A Literacy-Cast Proclamation?/ Manifesto?/??? We believe that children deserve books that:&nbsp; <ul><li>(a) Include accurate and authentic representations of disability;&nbsp;</li><li>(b) Include at least two characters with disabilities;</li><li>(c) Are authored and illustrated by people with lived disability experiences;&nbsp;</li><li>(d) Are historically accurate;</li><li>(e) Are written using inclusive and current language that [dismantles ableism];&nbsp;</li><li>(f) Avoid [and dismantle] stereotypes including the need to cure or overcome disabilities;</li><li>(g) Acknowledge [and respect] the power of individuals with disabilities.</li></ul> Specifically, we believe that children need books that allow everyone to [speak their own truths], create their own stories, and challenge limits set by society. We must not let anyone’s mind limit what able hearts can do.
