(3) K-3 Photographs by Matt Carr. The author of the YA memoir Laughing at My Nightmare, who was born with spinal muscular atrophy, answers ten questions he's commonly asked, from "How does your [wheel]chair work?" to "Do people ever make fun of you?" His responses are candid and relatable. Colorful backgrounds, clear photographs (occasionally manipulated for humorous effect), and vibrant typography add to the book's accessibility for younger readers.

(3) YA With brutal honesty, snarky humor, and a profound sense of absurdity, twenty-one-year-old wise-guy blogger Burcaw recounts the trials and tribulations of growing up with spinal muscular atrophy, with which he was diagnosed at age two. The conversational tone mixes information and personal anecdotes, putting a human face on a rare disability. An engaging, ultimately life-affirming memoir for teens.
