On Shelves Now: THIS KID CAN FLY: IT'S ABOUT ABILITY (NOT DISABILITY) by Aaron Philiip

192 p.
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
Ages: 8 to 12

Aaron Philip is no ordinary kid.
He started his own Tumblr, Aaronverse.
He’s hung out with the guy who created the cartoon Adventure Time.
He’s appeared in a documentary film.
He’s a disability activist who’s been on television.
He’s a kawaii dude who loves anime.
And he’s a fourteen-year-old boy with cerebral palsy.
This kid can’t walk, but he can fly.
Aaron Philip’s memoir chronicles his extraordinary journey from happy baby in Antigua to confident teen artist in New York City. His honest, often funny stories of triumph—despite physical difficulties, poverty, and other challenges—are as inspiring as they are eye-opening.
