Pietropaolo's photos tell their stories, his words provide the context of their lives. Respect resonates on every page as he welcomes us into the daily lives of families and individuals who, in his words, \"make raindrops, dance with wheelchairs, walk in the park, perform piano concerts, work for a living, and navigate through all the traffic ahead.\"\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Photographs and stories\u003cbr\u003e Friendship\u003cbr\u003e Confidence\u003cbr\u003e Adoption\u003cbr\u003e Mothers\u003cbr\u003e Puppy love\u003cbr\u003e Amy and Ginny\u003cbr\u003e Apprehension\u003cbr\u003e Reflections\u003cbr\u003e Sound surfer\u003cbr\u003e Doubt\u003cbr\u003e Navigating\u003cbr\u003e Acceptance\u003cbr\u003e Making raindrops\u003cbr\u003e No patronage, please\u003cbr\u003e Immigration\u003cbr\u003e Bells of inclusion\u003cbr\u003e Dance of wheelchairs\u003cbr\u003e Theater\u003cbr\u003e Max, a musician\u003cbr\u003e Opera tales\u003cbr\u003e Confluences\u003cbr\u003e Like an ex-convict\u003cbr\u003e Family\u003cbr\u003e A piano concerto\u003cbr\u003e Baby brothers\u003cbr\u003e Dinner\u003cbr\u003e Baby won't cry\u003cbr\u003e Working for a living\u003cbr\u003e A walk in the park\u003cbr\u003e Cyberspace\u003cbr\u003e The ice patch\u003cbr\u003e Health care professionals\u003cbr\u003e On children's books\u003cbr\u003e Retirement home\u003cbr\u003e Oak tree\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559292137752,"sku":"9780813547688","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/invisible-no-more-a-photographic-chronicle-of-the-lives-of-people-with-intellectual-disabilities-hardback-9780813547688","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
