As you know, Disability in Kidlit was conceived as a one-month blog event, intended to be a resource for the kidlit community to learn more about disability and encourage more and accurate portrayals in MG\/YA fiction. We\u2019ve had an overwhelmingly positive response, and we want to thank everyone who has joined us this month. Because of this response and what we feel is a hunger for more content, we\u2019re thrilled to announce:<\/p>\n
Disability in Kidlit will live on!<\/b><\/p>\n
We have decided to continue Disability in Kidlit as an ongoing blog rather than a one-time event. We will still feature the same types of content (articles about disability and reviews of MG\/YA books), and we’re hoping to bring some exciting new content as well!<\/p>\n
We have also created a Goodreads account which will allow us to do two things: 1) crosspost reviews that appear on the blog, and 2) provide a comprehensive, up-to-date list of MG\/YA novels featuring characters with disabilities. We can\u2019t vouch for these books \u2014 we haven\u2019t read most of them ourselves \u2014 but we hope this will help connect readers with the books they want. You can find more info about our Goodreads account on our new Resources page<\/a>, including the ways we\u2019d love for you to help us curate our bookshelves.<\/p>\n
