Wheeler invokes the fantasy of HandiLand, an ideal society ready for young people with disabilities before they get there, as a yardstick to measure how far we\u2019ve come and how far we still need to go toward the goal of total inclusion. The book moves through the public spaces young people with disabilities have entered, including schools, nature, and online communities. As a disabled person and parent of children with disabilities, Wheeler offers an inside look into families who collude with their kids in shaping a better world. Moving, funny, and beautifully written, <em>HandiLand: The Crippest Place on Earth<\/em> is the definitive study of disability in contemporary literature for young readers.\u201d<em>\u2014from the publisher<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Elizabeth A.
