Bright blue book cover with young man in a power wheelchair with background animated images of places from all 7 continents "Let's Explore With Cor Cor!"

 

With a can-do attitude, Cor Cor shows that with enough determination anything is possible. Cor Cor’s readers learn about places around the world, as he explores exciting destinations from his wheelchair. Whether admiring the northern lights in Iceland or meeting kangaroos in Australia, no adventure is off-limits. 

As a wheelchair user that has visited all seven continents, co-author Cory Lee (founder of the award-winning accessible travel blog Curb Free with Cory Lee) always wanted to read a book that he could relate to while growing up. Collaborating with his mom, co-author Sandy Gilbreath, they created this children’s picture book to show that the possibilities for all children are limitless, regardless of their abilities. Let’s Explore with Cor Cor is both fun and colorful, while teaching children about various landmarks and destinations from all over the world.

Cory Lee uses a power wheelchair and has become a leading voice in wheelchair travel. His blogs and website give readers and viewers insights into accessible (and not so accessible) travel around the world.  He is the first wheelchair user to travel on all 7 continents and report his journeys.  His website is: Welcome – Curb Free with Cory Lee: A Wheelchair Travel Blog.

The event is free and open to the public; registration is required. Gather up the kids, pull out your favorite snacks, and log in for the adventures!
