Aurushi Kintsugi Joggers
A pair of pants shouldn’t require a strategy session. Founded by below-knee amputee Gabriel Cardier, Aurushi grew partly from Cardier’s own frustration with clothing that didn’t accommodate his prosthesis or withstand the friction it created. Kintsugi Joggers feature full-length leg zippers for easy access to prostheses, plus four-way-stretch and abrasion-resistant fabric.

The Bionic Boy by Lynn Plourde
For the superhero fan on your list, Lynn Plourde’s The Bionic Boy follows 11-year-old Benji, who was born without hands and wonders whether prosthetic hands might help him become the hero he wants to be. Along the way, a friendship with a veteran with quadruple amputations helps Benji think differently about limb difference, confidence, and what makes someone heroic.

Iron Will by Roderick Sewell
Amplitude readers may remember Roderick Sewell from our 2025 conversation about his memoir, Iron Will: An Amputee’s Journey to Athletic Excellence. The Paralympian traces his journey from childhood homelessness to becoming the first bilateral above-knee amputee to finish the IRONMAN World Championship. It’s a story about sport, certainly, but also family, representation, and possibility.
