BEMIDJI — Author Beth Leipholtz will read her new book "The ABCs of Inclusion: A Disability Inclusion Book for Kids" with a book signing to follow the storytime from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 13, at Four Pines Bookstore, 102 Third St. NW.

"In this picture book about disabilities, you will meet 26 real kiddos with diagnoses like autism, hearing loss, epilepsy, and Down syndrome. It teaches young readers that it's OK to be different ― in fact, it's what makes us special," a release said.

Beth Leipholtz is the hearing mother of a deaf child, raising her son, Cooper, bilingually in both hearing and deaf cultures. She has built an online community of more than 1 million people to uplift parents on similar journeys and advocate for inclusion and accessibility, the release said.

Our newsroom sometimes reports stories under the byline "Pioneer Staff Report." This byline is used when reporters rewrite basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as an email or press release that requires little or no reporting.

Other times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
