We are all unique and everyone is different. We possess wonderfully unique qualities that differentiate us from others. Some of us are dealing with disabilities that also make us different from others. Having a disability can be extremely challenging because of the way the outside world treats and views us. Today, Ashley is talking with Stenetta Anthony, author of "A Home for Sally" an authentic book that is opening the dialogue about disability and societal value placement. In this book, we look at the concept of disability with regard to Sally who is missing a paw. Sally is awaiting being adopted. As Sally awaits adoption, she watches how the other puppies that came in the adoption facility at the same time as her are all adopted except her. Eventually, Sally is adopted by a wonderful family who loves Sally. This book applies to the human experience of being disabled and how people stare, overlook, or ignore because of their own judgment, fear, or insecurities dealing with others. Sometimes people lack empathy and understanding because they haven't had to deal with something of this magnitude. Stenetta, a veteran educator, has been instilling solid ideals within all of her students for twenty plus years. Sally's story will warm your heart and articulates what we people go through with disabilities.
