We’ve Got This: essays by disabled parents Eliza Hull

The first major anthology by parents with disabilities. How do parents who are blind take their kid to the park? How is a mother with dwarfism treated when she walks her child down the street? How do Deaf parents know when their baby cries in the night?When writer and musician Eliza Hull was pregnant with her first child, like most parents-to-be she felt a mix of nerves and excitement. But as a disabled person, there were added complexities.

She wondered: Will the pregnancy be too hard? Will people judge me? Will I cope with the demands of parenting?In We've Got This, twenty-eight parents who identify as Deaf, disabled, or chronically ill discuss the highs and lows of their parenting journeys and reveal that the greatest obstacles lie in other people's attitudes. The result is a moving, revelatory, and empowering anthology.
