contents The Representation of Differing Abilities in Children's Literature: A Local Analysis Hartenstein, Jamiee Brumbaugh, Klaire Holguin, Julianna Likcani, Adriatik Childrens Literature Public Libraries Metropolitan Areas Disabilities Content Analysis Childrens Attitudes Attitudes toward Disabilities Fairy Tales Learning Theories Preschool Children One hundred popular children's books for ages 0-6 were selected from a local metropolitan library system with data from 10 library branches. These frequently checked out books were then analyzed for how disabilities were represented in the books. This study found that only a few books checked out of the library represent children with differing abilities. Out of one hundred books, only thirty-six books show differing abilities with all of them depicting visual impairment (e.g., glasses) and four depicting a mobility impairment (e.g., wheelchair) in addition to the visual impairment. Understanding that children's literature influences children's attitudes, it is vital to find opportunities to engage children in books depicting children with disabilities as children begin to develop their understanding and attitudes at a young age.
