Brittle joints / Maria Sweeney.

Sweeney, Maria, (author,, illustrator.).

Summary:

When Maria Sweeney was young, she kept count of her broken bones. As she grew older, she living with Bruck syndrome, a rare progressive condition that gives her very brittle bones and joint abnormalities, meant that those numbers climbed and climbed. Today, she struggles every day, living in an often-inaccessible world. As an ambulatory wheelchair user, ordinary actions like entering a building, sitting at a café, or holding a cup of tea can be drastically different for her than for others.
