This Kid Can Fly: It's About Ability (NOT Disability)

In this heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting memoir, Aaron Philip, a fourteen-year-old trans-girl with cerebral palsy, shows how she isn't defined so much by her disability as she is by her abilities.

Written with award-winning author Tonya Bolden, This Kid Can Fly chronicles Aaron's extraordinary journey from happy baby in Antigua to confident teen artist in New York City.

Her honest, often funny stories of triumph-despite physical difficulties, poverty, and other challenges-are as inspiring as they are eye-opening. Includes photos and original illustrations from Aaron's personal collection.

After the book was published, Aaron came out as a trans-woman and today she is a fashion model.
