Wyatt recalls with fondness Dyment’s response when he shared a list with her of suggested titles to celebrate Disability Pride Month, which takes place in July. He hoped to share books representing kids and teens with disabilities in fiction and nonfiction. Dyment found many of the titles in the collection and ordered others, including Save Me a Seat by Gita Varadarajan and Sarah Weeks (a book that Wyatt says changed his life) and Where You See Yourself by Claire Forrest, and she put some on display. He says, “I love the library because it is a place for all people. I always feel welcome and hope others do too. I like to contribute to this feeling of community on the YAAB however I can.”

An avid reader from a very young age, Wyatt also enjoys traditional Irish dancing, swimming, singing a cappella, and playing the piano. He recently completed middle school at Oak Meadow School and the counselor-in-training program at Audubon’s Drumlin Farm, and he looks forward to 9th grade this fall. He’s leaving open the possibility of someday becoming a librarian
