Site of the Day: In the Picture

By , About.com GuideOctober 5, 2009

Follow me on:

What It Is: The "In The Picture campaign is about encouraging publishers, illustrators and writers to embrace diversity -- so that disabled children, who have been virtually invisible until recently, are included alongside others in illustrations and story lines in books for young readers"

Who's In Charge: Scope, a UK charity that has as its purpose to "drive the changes that will make our society the first in which disabled people are able to realise their full civil liberties and human rights."

Why It's Worth Checking Out: The site offers stories, images, and resources for the inclusion of children with disabilities in picture books.

Where to Start: Ten Guiding Principles
