    Additional info

    Submitted children’s stories should speak to the authentic experiences and perspectives of people with disabilities with the purpose of engaging readers in narratives that reflect underrepresented voices and communities. Consistent with our dedication to the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, those stories should both inspire and empower readers.
