Rebecca Rubin Seligson founded Wheellustrated Tales in 2021. Rebecca holds degrees in both Early Childhood Education (B.A. Yeshiva University) and Literacy (M.A. Teachers College, Columbia University) and has experience teaching English as a Second Language. ​ While raising her son with CP, Rebecca noticed a severe lack of disabled representation in children's literature. Knowing how important it is for children to relate to characters in the books they read, Rebecca decided to write a children's book featuring a child in a wheelchair. Rebecca took some time to research what specifically to write about, and to learn more and more about what was out there and what was lacking. There were many books out there that educated readers about disabilities and the importance of accepting others who are different than themselves. However, there were not many books that included a child in a wheelchair who just was - no explanation, no discussions of disabilities, just a kid being a kid who happened to use a wheelchair. Wheelustrated Tales was born in an effort to normalize disabilities in children's literature and to help fill that void. Rebecca has turned Wheellustrated Tales into a way to publish children's books, as well as advocating for disability inclusion through children's literature. As a firm believer that exposure to disabilities at a young age (through modalities such as books), Rebecca's goal is to bring these kinds of books into the hands of young readers in an effort to promote disability awareness and inclusion.
