Rotating a few characters in my head for potential kids books talking about disabilities. I feel like a lot of the kids books about disabilities I read are very heavy in the message that "ok Suzy can't run like you can but she can read and play blocks just like you!" So I want to write some that are a) aware and inclusive of the fact that disabled kids might be reading the book too, and b) embrace differences head on. Books focusing on similarities do have their place I'm not calling them problematique or anything but I get really frustrated about books on topics that assume the topic of the book isn't in the audience, kind of like the LGBT training videos my old job had that blatantly assumed the person taking the training was cishet. Like I feel that you should always assume your audience includes the people you're talking about. And I feel like kids books miss the mark.
If I had any idea how to go about manufacturing sensory/textured/braille/multimedia books I would be super interested in making immersive accessible books too. I don't want to let the scope of the project get away from me though. All I did was start thinking about a kid OC that's nonverbal and obsessed with mermaids I didn't really expect to start formulating a Kickstarter pitch mid-post
