All the Way to the Top: How One Girl's Fight for Americans with Disabilities Changed Everything

This book follows the true story of Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, a woman with cerebral palsy who participated in a protest now know as the Capitol Crawl when she was a child. Frustrated that much of the world was inaccessible to people who use wheelchairs like herself, young Jennifer began advocating for a law called the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires public buildings to be accessible to people with disabilities.
