Annie Streit has been a wheelchair user since a diving accident in May of 2005. She has spoken to many groups about her accident, adapting to life in a wheelchair, and overcoming obstacles. She has a true passion for working with children and being an advocate for those with disabilities. She plans on being able to use her books as another way to reach out and educate children on the importance of acceptance, and being able to see past outward appearances and differences.
