[aisle] build excitement for Wonder

[Eti Berland]

If you're looking for more resources to engage in conversations about
disability experiences and disability justice, I definitely would recommend
pairing it with the picture book, *We Move Together* by Kelly Fritsch &
Anne McGuire, illustrated by Eduardo Trejos. There's an amazing educator
guide with so many activities and resources:
https://wemovetogether.ca/education-resources

We even hosted the authors for a community virtual visit, which you can see
here:

I'd also share some resources/readalikes we curated during Coming Together
in Niles Township: Sharing Experiences of Disability, which include
booklists, community organizations, and learning resources:
https://www.comingtogether.in/gallery-1

You may also want to share selections from *Disability Visibility (Adapted
for Young Adults): 17 First-Person Stories for Today*, edited by Alice
Wong. There's a particularly powerful and relevant piece by Ariel Henley
called "There's a Mathematical Equation That Proves I'm Ugly — Or So I
Learned in My Seventh Grade Art Class." She also has a powerful memoir, *A
Face for Picasso: Coming of Age with Crouzon Syndrome*, which you could
share selections from. She's also a wonderful speaker who we also hosted
virtually.

I hope all of these resources can be helpful.

Good luck with your first One District, One Book program!
