on a further note, i work as a volunteer in a bookstore, and the unfailingly most popular question we get is grandmothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends coming in and asking, 'do you have a book where the main character is blind?' 'any picture books where boys wear dresses?' 'are there any superheroes in wheelchairs?' children need representation and so do their families, especially from books that are so popular.
