Disabled but not Broken ✨
Disabled People don’t exist to Inspire Others.
If you want some book recommendations with disabled folks that just exist (without that inspirational suffering or being portrayed as a hero) - this is your list 🤭💗

Cool list! Also, I’m reading These Vengeful Gods by Gabe Cole Novoa which has a trans disabled main character and also if side disabled characters work, I recommend The Sunbearer Trials! As well one of the main characters of Mooncakes by Wendy Xu is HOH and the main character of Sixteen Souls by Rosie Talbot is an amputee! When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley also includes multiple disabled characters!
This List Contains casual disability representation in the main characters ☺️ I added These Vengeful Gods, but couldn’t find Mooncakes in the search 🥺
My bad! It’s because I only put one of the creators, sorry! On Pagebound, the author is Suzanne Walker!
great list, I think Climate of Chaos by Cassandra Newbould would be a good fit here!
Uuuuuuhhh that sound SO good! 😍
