    Beyond the 3.4%: How T. L. Mccoy Is Changing Children’s Books Forever
    Jun 15 2025
    When T.L. McCoy’s granddaughter was diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome—a rare, life-threatening seizure disorder—she found a shocking gap: only 3.4% of children’s books feature disabled heroes. So she wrote one.

    In this powerful interview, T.L. reveals:

    ✨ How her granddaughter’s journey inspired **Delilah Versus the Ghastly Grim**—a fantasy where seizures become portals to magic

    ✨ Why "invisibility" harms children with disabilities (and how stories heal)

    ✨ The delicate balance of blending real trauma with escapism

    ✨ Her mission to flood bookshelves with heroes who look like "unseen" kids

    Discover how an ordinary grandmother launched Blue Round Book Group to revolutionize representation—and why her call to action matters for every parent, teacher, and reader.

    💙 The challenges and triumphs of building a strong blended family (and why it’s key to healing communities)
    🎙️ Behind-the-scenes wisdom from his podcasts – from hard-hitting "mirror checks" on Inspiration Station to candid talks with change-makers
    🌱 How Save The Children SC teaches kids to be "assets, not liabilities" to society
    🙏 Why faith, resilience, and showing up – as a grandfather, leader, and storyteller – are the ultimate acts of rebellion

    Tune in for a conversation about turning pain into purpose, and legacy into action.
