———————————————
This is the first book in a trilogy that was created under the “Angels with Wheelchairs” initiative. The trilogy includes stories about the everyday lives of people living with disabilities. After sustaining injuries in a car accident, I began to use a wheelchair and experienced many unexpected challenges in my daily life. Through this experience, I observed the prevalence of discriminatory attitudes in society toward people with disabilities and saw a need to change this problematic mindset. The goal of this book is to promote a more accepting and inclusive society by sharing the message that every individual, regardless of their physical ability, has a fundamental right to access education, learn, and prosper in society from an early age.
