Dolly Gray Children's Literature Award Dolly's full life was in many ways the life of any little girl and young woman. She had friends and went to school; she went camping and went to parties. To an extent that one might not have anticipated, she participated in the world that we, not "the rest of us," but all of us share. Literature had a lot to do with it. Like many young people, she loved books and for many of the same reasons. Books affected Dolly's life in other ways. Each of us knows ourselves better for having encountered ourselves in literature, and books offered Dolly something precious. Today there are many more books for young people which give substance to "inclusion."

Many people graciously contributed books that have illuminated the disability experience for them, books that have informed them of the injustices that have occurred – and continue to occur – toward people with disabilities, or books that have reflected their own experiences. This list, however, is not – and may never be – fully complete. Fries, K.
