Run Jayla Run: A story about limb difference, fairness, and the joy of movement.

Jayla Mensah loves the quiet moment before a race. The track feels bright, wide, and full of possibility. But during practice for Global Grove Academy's Around-the-World Relay, Micah calls her running blade an unfair advantage.Jayla knows she should not have to explain her body or prove that she belongs. With support from Coach Martinez and honest encouragement from Nova, she sets a boundary, listens to her body, and returns to the track for the reason that matters most: she loves to run.Run, Jayla, Run! is a warm, energetic picture book about limb difference, adaptive sports, self-advocacy, teamwork, and joy. Young readers will see that fairness does not always mean everyone does the same thing. Sometimes it means making room for every child to participate safely, fully, and as themselves.Includes discussion questions and a note for grown-ups about prostheses, respectful questions, and supporting children in sports.
