Hazel’s Best Day by Adiba Nelson, is a joyful story that celebrates Disability Pride, inclusion, and the many ways communities can be welcoming for everyone.
Hazel’s Best Day is a great story for kids of all ages. Hazel’s best day comes once a year, when her city holds a Disability Pride parade. Along the way to the parade, Hazel shows readers how her city has made improvements to make the town more accessible. She points out that these improvements not only help people with disabilities but also benefit everyone.
The story does a wonderful job of showcasing a variety of disabilities and explaining how disabilities don’t define people’s abilities. The book also features vibrant colors and patterns in the illustrations that really capture kids’ attention.
