It is disability pride month. Make sure to pick up a book that includes disability representation.

A black background with different stick figures representing disabled people. It is covered by a rainbow colored rectangular. It says disability pride: chronic pain / illness. It shows the covers of books by Rae Shawn with the types of representation listed beneath each. Uncovering Her Emotions with multiple sclerosis, Uncovering Her Petty with joint and muscle pain, Uncovering Her Passion with type 1 diabetes, and You Killed For Me So Now I Think We’re Dating with migraines on one row. Beneath that it shows covers for Fumble Recovery with asthma, Fourth & Long with muscle pain, and Seventy Two Hours with nerve pain and damage.
