Graphic Fiction

When Bay Ann wobbles at the end of her Halloween tap dance performance, the moment goes viral! Not because of her amazing tap routine (she crushed it), but because it’s an ‘inspirational’ moment when Alyee Maq, her crush and classmate, catches her. The world sees Bay Ann’s cerebral palsy—not her talent. (For the record, she was swooning a little bit from the strength of her crush, not falling because of her palsy!)
