Illustrated by Ananya Rao-Middleton, the downloadable book includes six stories exploring the lives of people who have influenced disability laws and rights in the UK.
The resource is suitable for teachers, home educators and parents to share with children aged seven to 11.
Among those featured are Dame Anne Begg, one of the first wheelchair users in the House of Commons, and Ben Purse, whose activism led to the first law in the world to support the working rights of people with a disability.
Other people included are the artist and diversity champion Deborah Williams, disabled suffragette Rosa May Billinghurst, Lord Alf Morris and Baroness Jane Campbell. Their stories are complemented by activities which encourage children to think about how to make the games they play more inclusive.
