From the award-winning creators of Come Over to My House comes this light-hearted picture book about accessibility and disability, and two kids who are inspired to build a better world.

Carla and Sam want to play together, but there’s nowhere in their neighborhood that’s accessible to them both! That is, until Carla and Sam put their heads together to dream up a place where all kids can play together, and a wonderful new space is born.

This fun, child-centred romp through a local neighborhood belies a powerful picture book about accessibility, and what it truly means to be disabled. With Sally Rippin’s characteristic lightness of touch and Eliza Hull’s depth of knowledge, this appealing story demonstrates the social model of disability; namely, that people are disabled not by their own bodies, but by their environments.

It’s a powerful lens through which to talk about and understand why accessibility is an issue for everyone.
