My Thoughts
You’ve heard it before and have probably uttered the words wistfully yourself: “So many books, so little time….” A good book can be like a cozy, warm blanket on a fall or winter day, providing comfort to its reader. A good book can also transmit ideas so electrifying that it can move people into action and power movements. In the words of award-winning author, John Green, “Great books help you understand, and they help you to feel understood.” There are many great books, both fiction and non-fiction, that are available out there that addresses or touches on disabilities, accessibility and inclusion. Jungle of the Soul: A Memoir by Roxana D. is one of those amazing books and we encourage you to seek books like this. Jungle of the Soul: A Memoir
