From the author of Oshún and Me and the artist of Homegrown comes a joyful picture book that celebrates community and individuality, inspired by real people with disabilities everywhere.
Today is the best day of the year: PARADE DAY! It's the day that Hazel's city is a little bit shinier, everyone's a little bit happier, and she gets to wear her sparkliest, coolest gear to celebrate and attend the disability pride parade. As Hazel takes readers on an eye-opening journey through her city on her way to the parade, along the way they will see the various ways in which communities can evolve to be more accessible and safe for everyone. Whether it's putting dips in the curb for people using mobility aids, facilitating the use of service animals, or installing wheelchair accessible playground equipment, there are a lot of ways our communities can be made safer and more accessible for everyone.
