I'm so excited...May 5th Emily will be talking at our State College about the inclusion of disabled characters and storylines that she writes for on the childrens televison program Sesame Street. I so can't wait. Very Happy

I didn't know anything about Emily Perl Kingsley except the "Welcome to Holland" poem. Thanks to your post I just googled her name and learned a lot. Very cool - have fun!!

I know her--she lives in the town next to mine and was the recipient of the Romp For Research Recognition Award two years ago. She is a lovely person.
