Verse lends itself to conveying big feelings around disability, as these powerful works for middle grade readers show.

Despite the importance and impact of the 1947 Partition of India, there is little taught about the event or written about it in children's literature. Authors Saadia Faruqi, Ritu Hemnani, and Veera Hiranandani are filling that gap with new titles.

Normalizing physical disability can and should begin in childhood. These creators are doing just that.
