	Small Steps: The Year I Got Polio (Paperback, 1996) By Peg Kehret;Denise Shanahan	Young Adults	11/11/2012 Add
	jerrydavis said: Peg Schulze Kehret's account of her fight against polio (1949-50), which struck her at age 12, vividly recalls her hospitalization and treatment even though she wrote the story over four decades later. Kehret's current struggle with postpolio syndrome underlines the dreaded power of the disease. Her positive attitude is amazing and continues to give hope. At The Oakridge School of Texas, 4th grade students read "Small Steps" as part of their in-school guided reading assignment. This story aligns with their Science curriculum and it demonstrates the importance of science to public health. tags: I read, I recommend
