Negative Positive
Title: Talking about people with disabilities
Review: I was very disappointed with the Product Description for this book. Saying that Sarah is a "victim" of cerebral palsy is not respectful, nor was the review from the School Library Journal that says that Sarah is "confined" to a wheelchair. Both ways of describing Sarah focus on the negative. That's not how I want my children to think about people with cerebral palsy. How about saying she "has cerebral palsy" and "she uses a wheelchair"? These are statements of fact, rather than a judgment. Subtle but powerful!
Is the review positive or negative?
