Chris Ullmer with a special kid.

Have you heard of Chris Ulmer? He was featured in this blog post from The Tilt. He is extraordinary because although no publishers were interested in his book idea, he found a way to grow his content empire. 

Chris started as a special education teacher. In a video from 2015, he is seen giving compliments to his students and it went viral.  His passion was unmistakable and he took the next step to start his foundation, Special Books by Special Kids. 

This blog post may be short and sweet, because there aren’t words enough to describe people like Chris and what he is doing for kids of EVERY shape, size and disability. But I warn you, you will need hours of time to check out his blog. After watching one video you won’t be able to stop. You will want to meet ALL of his friends.  Each one is amazing. We’ve even featured some of them here, on our own blog. 

So, if you have yet done so, please meet Chris Ullmer. You’ll be so glad that you did.
