January 2: Jean Little

Transcript

Today we remember celebrated Canadian children’s author Jean Little.

 

Hello and welcome to the Disability Daily Podcast! I’m your host, Katie, and over the past couple years, I’ve worked on a 365-day calendar that recognizes different folks and key moments in disability history each day of the year. I’m turning this into a quick daily podcast, and I’m excited to share this with you!

If you’re committed to learning more about disability and accessibility, please subscribe to the podcast and share with friends.

See the Disability Daily Calendar (work on it is always ongoing! It is currently best viewed on a laptop or desktop while I optimize mobile viewing).
