Jean Little Jean Little was born in Taiwan in A daughter of Canadian medical missionaries, Jean was born with a severe eye problem (her corneas were scarred) and was severely visually impaired.

After teaching disabled children for several years, Jean wrote her first children ’ s novel, Mine for Keeps, about a child with cerebral palsy. It was published in 1962 and won the Little, Brown Canadian Children ’ s Book Award.

More Books by Jean Jean also wrote about what it was like for her to disabled in her books Little by Little and Stars Come Out Within.

Polio In Little by Little, Jean’s teacher, Mr. Johnston, had had polio. Polio is a contagious disease that wreaked havoc in the early part of the 1900s.

Asymptomatic & Symptomatic Polio In about 95% of cases, polio actually produces no symptoms at all (called asymptomatic polio). In the 4% to 8% of cases in which there are symptoms (called symptomatic polio), the illness appears in three forms: - a mild form called abortive polio which is limited to mild flu-like symptoms - nonparalytic polio (1% to 5% show neurological symptoms such as sensitivity to light and neck stiffness) - a severe, debilitating form called paralytic polio (this occurs in 0.1% to 2% of cases)

Polio Vaccine At the height of the polio epidemic in 1952, nearly 60,000 cases with more than 3,000 deaths were reported in the United States alone. In 1955, Dr. Jonas Salk created a polio vaccine. With widespread vaccination, wild-type polio, or polio occurring through natural infection, was eliminated from the United States by 1979 and the Western hemisphere by 1991.

1940s Jean Little was in the fifth grade in Little by Little. This was in the 1940s. So, let’s take a look at World War II and the 1940s.
