Sam's Super Seats

A blue background filled with different shadings of people at the mall. In the foreground is a big pink planter with multiple plants coming out of it. In front of that pink planter is a brown bench. Sitting on that brown bench are three little Girls. Sam (center) Is A little black girl smiling with cerebral palsy wearing a blue and white polkadot skirt with white socks and pink shoes. She is wearing a pink shirt and pink barrettes. Her hair is in space buns on her head. To the left of her is Sarah a little girl of Asian descent wearing white shoes, brown pants, and an orange and brown shirt. Her black hair falls down her back. To the right of Sam is Sydney, a white child wearing purple shoes, green shorts, a yellow shirt with a purple and green flower on it. Her curly brown hair Falls down her back. In front of them are shopping bags: The colors of those bags are turquoise, light blue, orange, and yellow. The top of the cover reads in white font: Sam’s Super Seats. On the bottom of the cover in purple font it says: written by Keah Brown and illustrated by Sharee Miller.

About the book

A joyful picture book about a disabled girl with cerebral palsy who goes back-to-school shopping with her best friends, from #DisabledandCute creator and The Pretty One author Keah Brown.

Sam loves herself, learning, and making her family and friends laugh. She also loves comfortable seats, including a graceful couch named after Misty Copeland and Laney, the sassy backseat of Mom’s car.

After a busy morning of rest, Sam and her friends try on cute outfits at the mall and imagine what the new school year might bring. It’s not until Sam feels tired, and the new seat she meets isn’t so super, that she discovers what might be her best idea all day.

With hilarious, charming text by Keah Brown and exuberant illustrations by Sharee Miller, Sam’s Super Seats celebrates the beauty of self-love, the power of rest, and the necessity of accessible seating in public spaces. Includes narrative description of art for those with low/limited vision.
Keah smiles at the camera wearing black and white glasses. Her braided hair is up in a ponytail and she is wearing a black shirt and blue Jean shorts. She is holding the physical copy of Sam’s Super Seats in her hands.
