In lives where there is a new diagnosis or drama every day, the stories in this collection provide parents of “special needs” kids with a welcome chuckle, a rock to stand on, and a moment of reality held far enough from the heart to see clearly. Featuring works from professional writers to novice storytellers, this anthology carefully considers the implications of parenting while raising children with disabilities.
“This is the most important book I've read in years. Whether you are subject or ally, My Baby Rides the Short Bus will open you--with its truth, humanity, and poetry,” says Ariel Gore, author of The Hip Mama Survival Guide.
“If only that lady in the grocery store and all of those other so-called parenting experts would read this book! This book is a vital addition to the public discourse on disability,' writes Suzanne Kamata, editor of Love You to Pieces: Creative Writers on Raising a Child with Special Needs.
Join essayists Sharis Ingram, Ziva Mann, Stephanie Sleeper and co-editor Jennifer Silverman on Sunday, April 25th, 2 p.m. at the Lucy Parsons Center, 549 Columbus Avenue, Boston, as they read and discuss this collection of revolutionary essays.
