"This book made me question assumptions I’d made about child-rearing. Author Jessica Slice became disabled, then a parent, and discovered that not only could she raise a child, but she was also better able to cope with some of the demands of parenting than those who weren’t disabled. Slice interviews other parents with disabilities and discovers a variety of creative ways they take care of their kids, even while she and they continually encounter prejudice about their fitness to do so. A mind-opening read."
