Annette Bay Pimentel

This picture-book biography follows Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, who was born with cerebral palsy and encountered barriers in everyday life, including crossing streets in her wheelchair and attending kindergarten only in the afternoon. As a young child, she joined disability-rights meetings and protests with her parents. At eight, she traveled to Washington, D.C., during debate over the Americans with Disabilities Act and joined the Capitol Crawl, climbing the Capitol steps to demonstrate the lack of access.
