A joyful picture book about a disabled girl with cerebral palsy who goes back-to-school shopping with her best friends, from #DisabledandCute creator and The Pretty One author Keah Brown.
Sam loves herself, learning, and making her family and friends laugh. She also loves comfortable seats, including a graceful couch named after Misty Copeland and Laney, the sassy backseat of Mom’s car.
After a busy morning of rest, Sam and her friends try on cute outfits at the mall and imagine what the new school year might bring. It’s not until Sam feels tired, and the new seat she meets isn’t so super, that she discovers what might be her best idea all day.
With hilarious, charming text by Keah Brown and exuberant illustrations by Sharee Miller, Sam’s Super Seats celebrates the beauty of self-love, the power of rest, and the necessity of accessible seating in public spaces. Includes narrative description of art for those with low/limited vision.

Keah Brown is a journalist, author, and screenwriter. She is the creator of #DisabledAndCute, and her work has appeared in Teen Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire UK, and The New York Times, among other publications.

Sharee Miller is the author-illustrator of Princess Hair, Don't Touch My Hair!, and Michelle's Garden (Little Brown for Young Readers). She is also the illustrator of The Shai and Emmie series, written by Quvenzhané Wallis and Nancy Ohlin (Simon and Schuster). Her colorful, happy characters are created using watercolor, colored pencil and pen.
PreS-Gr 3—This back-to-school story has a welcoming spin for those who are differently-abled; Brown, who identifies as a disabled activist, introduces readers to Sam, a little girl with a big personality who does not allow her physical condition to affect her negatively. Sam has cerebral palsy and sometimes requires rest for her tired legs. When it's time for a break, she finds a super seat, any spot where she and her friends when they are around can rest. In the story, Sam's mom takes her and two friends shopping. They find new outfits, give plenty of compliments, and look forward to their new school year. Brown's lively text carries the plot and allows the reader to hear Sam's voice and personality. Miller creates spirited scenes that offer a glimpse of Sam's movements, immerse readers in Sam's world, her matter-of-fact attitude, her kind and very mainstream friends (a diverse group, while Sam and her family are Black), and the overlap of Sam's normal with everyone else's. VERDICT Regardless of differences, this is a back-to-school tale that captures the excitement and anticipation of this special time of year; the treatment of Sam's working with her particular body while surpassing expectations and living life to the fullest is one every child can relate to. Recommended for all those teaching acceptance and tolerance in all aspects of life.—Brittany McMahon
