One fantastic book I've read semi-recently is The Pretty One; On Life, Pop Culture, Disability, and Other Reasons to Fall in Love with Me, by Keah Brown. Ms. Brown is a young, Black, activist/writer who has Cerebral Palsy. What I love about The Pretty One is that Keah Brown really focuses on telling the readers who she is as a whole person, instead of merely explaining the mechanics of her disability. For example, I know that she loves cheesecake, and her favorite band is Paramore. I also found out that she likes Tia and Tamera Mowry more than Mary Kate and Ashley Olson, because she sees herself in the former. Keah Brown's book is a real life illustration of Patricia Berne's principle of Disability Justice, ''recognizing wholeness.''
