Ability Guidebook_ I Am Going To Grant Park!

I had a terrific time presenting in Chicago at NNSTOY. I only had one free afternoon but was able to make a book for a couple of great outings. There are now books for the Art Institute of Chicago and the Taste of Chicago. This new book is for Grant Park and it’s amazing art, memorials and fountains.

A Little Bit About Brett….

He has visited schools in more than 20 countries and is proud to be a voice both here and abroad for people with disabilities.
