—James Coney, The Sunday Times

—Lisa Cox, media professional and disability advocate

—Margaret Kingsbury, Book Riot
“[M]uch-needed … [W]onderfully intersectional … Eliza Hull has done a fantastic job of curating this book. The essays themselves are brilliant, written from the heart and are very informative … The wealth of experiences, knowledge and sense of community that We’ve Got This offers is invaluable … [A] necessary read.”
—Heather T., Just Geeking By
“Every parent faces unique challenges, and these get even more complex when the parent is managing their own disability. We’ve Got This is in turns heart-warming, defiant, raw, and hopeful. The essayists include parents with physical, mental, and intellectual disabilities; parents from around the world; parents who are straight, gay, queer, single by choice. The diversity of these voices is much appreciated. A must-read for disabled and non-disabled people!”
—Sarah Smee
“When I found this book, I was elated, relieved, and thrilled. As a disabled parent myself, it is so easy to feel alone in the act of parenting. Even with a co-parent or spouse. I cried almost the entire time while reading this book. Mostly from relief that I'm not alone. This book is needed, has been needed for generations. Disabled people live full lives, despite what pop culture would have society believe. We live full lives as parents. This book proves it.”
—Annie Carl, The Neverending Bookshop
“Beautiful.”
—PosAbility Magazine
