Question of the Day
ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) -
About 20 years ago, Kimberly Resh stood before a Kids Gap cashier, her 6-year-old daughter Mikayla behind her, with her wheelchair and feeding tube. Mikayla had numerous severe physical and intellectual disabilities from birth, and medical complications from them.
“What’s that?” came a young voice from behind.

Before Resh could turn around, her younger daughter, 3-year-old Lauren, began to explain.
“That’s my sister’s special tube,” she said. “My mom feeds Mikayla special milk through her special tube.”
Shifting its focus to building diverse home libraries for young readers this year, Lehigh Valley Reads has partnered with nonprofit Mikayla's Voice to include another asset in the discussion: books about children with disabilities.
