<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-Tyh9MpCzg">Kids Meet A Person With Cerebral Palsy- YouTube Video by HiHo Kids</a> <ul><li>This is a great video to show kids who may have more curiosity about the disability and allows someone with lived experience to answer many questions they may have themselves.</li></ul><a href="https://nch.netreturns.biz/healthtools/cerebralPalsy.html">Cerebral Palsy Information Quiz</a> <ul><li>This is a great true or false quiz on the characteristics and facts of CP. It is straight forward so it would be easy for children to read and comprehend. When you submit each answer, it tells you if you are correct or incorrect and WHY, which is great for building more knowledge.</li></ul>

Chapter 6: Evaluation of Children's Books

Ms. Hatcher &amp; Ms. Sidney's Book Recommendations

Mr. Ross's Recommendation for "Sam's Super Seats": This book is about Sam who has cerebral palsy and she likes to sing and dance. She also loves her family. She seem just the same. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars because It will help learn about stimming and it will use inclusive language. Sam is also powerful and children need books that they need challenge limits. This book challenge limits by giving the main character friends or hobbies and strengths. - Mr. Ross

Ms. Kayla's Recommendation for "I Will Dance": This book is about Eva who have cerebral palsy, and her long lasting dream is to dance. I would rate this book a 5 out of 5 because it shows Eva has a passion for dancing and her mom helped her with finding an ad in a paper that said all ages, are welcome, and diverse learners are welcome. It was very inspiring because the dance teacher saw everyone had a disability and she treated them like kids who wanted to be there to dance. She also made accodamations for the dancers.

Chapter 4: The Literacy-Cast Proclamation

Chapter 5: Search for Children's Books

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.

In conclusion, we learned there are some books that are available about Cerebral Palsy.&nbsp; While most of them do meet the standards in our proclamation, there are some that are just mediocre.&nbsp; We have learned that we need more books written for children by authors who have Cerebral Palsy or have first hand experience with Cerebral Palsy.&nbsp; It is important that when these books are written they are written with more positivity and showing ableism and they are able to do things that they want.&nbsp;&nbsp;
