Anna Sewell was perhaps the only person whom book was called "the first significant children's story in English language." She was born in Norfolk, England on March 30, 1820. Her father was Isaac Sewell (1793-1879), and her mother, Mary Wright Sewell (1798 - 1884) was a successful writer of children's books in her own right. She faced many challenges and accomplishments in her lifetime. Growing up she loved riding horses and telling stories. As a young girl, Anna was more concerned about the humane treatment of horses and she often spent hours with her father traveling to and from the station.

At the age of fourteen she fell and sprained her ankle while running down a steep carriage. Despite this, and most likely because of mistreatment of her injury, Sewell was lame for the rest of her life and was unable to stand without a crutch or to walk for any length of time. She did however travel to health spas in Germany and Spain to help cure her ankle injuries. Also, growing up, she was often too weak to hold the pencil herself, so instead her mother wrote while Anna told her story. Following that in 1871, Sewell was confined her home by her disability. Sewell became increasingly ill during the writing of Black Beauty, and it is only through her mother’s transcription and dictation that the novel was completed. Anna Sewell died of hepatitis on April 25, 1878 just five months after her publication, living long enough to see the book's initial early

I would tell someone who has never met Sandy Sewell that her witty personality and exuberance for life, as she tells her life story, is what defines her as an individual and not her physical disabilities. At first glance you will notice that she is quadriplegic and confined to a wheelchair but I would assure the person that her appearance is deceiving because she is truly an inspirational person.

Her passion for living the best possible life is evident when she discusses her role as an advocate for the disabled in creating her organization the Rockland Social Network. The organization gives disabled individuals in Rockland
