World Book Day – “How many characters can you think of that have a disability?”
Moses Goes to a Concert is a fascinating depiction of deafness with its illustrations of sign language and its inclusion of a large cast of deaf characters, including Moses the protagonist. However, the character I want to draw your attention to the Ms. Elywn, a percussionist who also happens to be deaf. On a visit to a concert she inspires Moses to one day become a percussionist like herself.

Anything you can do, I can do is a children's picture book exploring hemiplegia from a child's perspective.

World Book Day – “How many characters can you think of that have a disability?”
Charlie has asthma and throughout the Lionboy triology has to deal with the task of managing his health condition, alongside being the hero of story. The series features a disabled character without pigeonholing it as the main aspect of the book. Charlie is an empathetic, clever, competent and incredibly brave character and one that no one could help but admire. This book remains one of my absolute favourite stories.
