"My Friend Blair" is a heart-warming story about a boy and his friendship with a child who uses a wheelchair for mobility. Their journey through everyday life introduces young readers to the world of disabilities, accessibility, and efforts to remove barriers so they can access the same inclusive opportunities that other children enjoy.
"My Friend Blair" is intended to spark awareness and discussions on the topic of accessibility and inclusion, and to remove some of the mystery behind disability in young minds. It shows that Blair is the same as everyone else and has the same wants, needs, and priorities as other children. Although not a topic addressed in the book, intersectionalities of the characters were introduced to reflect the fact that disability is not exclusive to any one demographic.
