Bookroo's summary
Jennifer Keelan, a determined young activist, faces a world not built for her wheelchair. When the Americans with Disabilities Act is proposed, she takes a bold stand. Climbing the Capitol steps without her wheelchair, Jennifer fights for accessibility and equality. Will her courageous act help change the world?
"She slides out of her wheelchair, scoots along the sidewalk to the bottom of the stairway, and puts her hands on the first step. She hauls herself up. ... She keeps GOING... ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP."
— from the book
From the publisher
This is the story of a little girl who just wanted to go, even when others tried to stop her.Jennifer Keelan was determined to make a change–even if she was just a kid. She never thought her wheelchair could slow her down, but the way the world around her was built made it hard to do even simple things. Like going to school, or eating lunch in the cafeteria.Jennifer knew that everyone deserves a voice! Then the Americans with Disabilities Act, a law that would make public spaces much more accessible to people with disabilities, was proposed to Congress. And to make sure it passed, Jennifer went to the steps of the Capitol building in Washington DC to convince them.And, without her wheelchair, she climbed.ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP!
