The Story of a Girl with a Quirky Mind, an Eccentric Family, and Oh Yes, a Disability

August 29, 2016 | 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Brookline Booksmith welcomes Becky Taylor and Dena Taylor, author of Tell Me the Number Before Infinity: The Story of a Girl with a Quirky Mind, an Eccentric Family, and Oh Yes, a Disability

Tell Me the Number before Infinity is an honest, moving, informative, often funny and inspiring account of a girl and her mother’s journey. Becky Taylor is a mathematical whiz, who has cerebral palsy and a B.S. in Computer Science. With her mother, Dena Taylor, M.S.W., they describe life in their family and the realities of having a disability. The Taylors’ pivotal action hugely contributed to California’s historical mainstreaming of disabled children into the public school system.
