Ep. 16: Creating Inclusive Storybooks for Children with Author SJ Childs
"Why stump kids with knowledge that doesn't include everyone?"
Episode Description
Sara Bradford is a children’s book author, known by her pen name SJ Childs. Her storybooks help children learn about and understand the experiences of individuals with dyslexia, down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, physical differences, and more.

This heartwarming conversation will inspire you to buy her storybooks and learn more about physical differences, extraordinary needs, and neurodiversity.
