The inspiring true story of Jennifer Keelan, the activist whose participation in the Capitol Crawl at just eight years old encouraged Congress to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act

Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth, Jennifer Keelan grew up battling—and overcoming—the limitations others set for her. From a lack of cutaway curbs and bus lifts to being denied enrollment at her neighborhood school, Jennifer was continually blocked from living the life she wanted. But after discovering the world of disability rights activism, she knew she had to use her voice to change things.

When Jennifer was just eight years old, she participated in the Capitol Crawl. The deeply affecting image of Jennifer crawling up the steps of Capitol Hill went viral and helped pressure Congress into passing the Americans with Disabilities Act. A powerfully illustrated biography of Jennifer's life and a celebration of youth activism, All the Way to the Top will teach all children that they have the power to make a difference.

Victoria ★★★★★

I read this aloud to my third graders and they were absolutely silent, hanging on every word about the Capitol Crawl. The way it captures a child's determination to change laws is both powerful and easy for young readers to grasp.

George ★★★★★

My eight-year-old was so moved by Jennifer’s story that she asked to read it again the next night. The photos of the actual Capitol Crawl really brought history to life for her.

David ★★★★★

My son couldn’t stop asking questions after we read about Jennifer’s crawl up the Capitol steps—it’s that powerful at sparking real conversations about fairness and history. The storytelling balances heavy topics with hope perfectly for young readers.
