Sport has become a lot more inclusive in recent years, thanks to the hard work of ambassadors and charities that want to see people from all backgrounds and abilities taking part. Children are the most important area, as they can then grow up to do whatever they want to do without barriers. Here are some of the best sports books for children with disabilities. Many of them you can find on Adventee.
