Danny Jordan is a television producer and father of a child with an upper limb difference. Since there aren\u2019t many children\u2019s books out there that are inclusive, he decided to publish one himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s when \u201cThe Capables\u201d were born. The Capables are a group of super-capable kid superheroes, all of whom have a super capability or \u201ccape.\u201d Each one of their superpowers is activated through empowerment, which can come in the form of accessibility, advocacy, representation, inclusion, or equality.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Capable\u2019s overcome challenging experiences using these superpowers, whether it\u2019s the first day of school or a trip to the dentist.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Each story in the series aims to represent disability in an accurate and responsible manner. One of those stories is titled \u201cRae\u2019s First Day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe first time I read \u2018Rae\u2019s First Day\u2019 to my son I cried,\u201d Nicole Brennan, founder of IAMPOSSIBLE Foundation, said<\/a>. \u201cThe affirmations scene really got me. If only I had felt that empowered as a child with a limb difference and seen myself represented in books and TV maybe my journey to self acceptance and love would have been smoother.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Jordan wanted his daughter, Emerson, to grow up seeing herself represented in books, and now she has her very own series.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI created The Capables to put children like my daughter in the hero role while encouraging readers to be more inclusive and understanding when it comes to disability,\u201d Jordan wrote<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
