Description

Produced in partnership with Mencap, this inspiring book explains what learning disabilities are and shows that, whoever you are, you can and should have the same opportunities as everyone. Whether you want to be a popstar, activist, dancer, actor, baker or athlete, having a learning disability is no barrier to this. Written by Natalie Duo, a Mencap ambassador who has a learning disability, this book tells about the challenges Natalie faced growing up and faces now in her everyday life. It shows readers how having a learning disability affects people's lives, and how best to understand, support and be an ally to people with learning disabilities. Find out what living with a learning disability is really like. Supports the PSHE curriculum study of about respecting the differences and similarities between people and recognising what they have in common with others e.g. physically, in personality or background Suitable for children aged 8+

Author Biography:

After a few false starts with a model agency and an accountant's, Honor Head's career as a children's writer and editor began when she joined a small publisher producing comics featuring children's television characters. The light bulb clicked on - Honor discovered she loved editing and writing for children - and has been burning brightly ever since. She has now published over 100 books for children on subjects as diverse as kitten care, famous outlaws, ghastly ghosts and totally awesome trucks as well as creating pop-ups, pull-outs and sticker books, and has edited many, many more. Honor now lives beside the seaside in Devon where she has fun helping out at the local museums organising family and school activities - a great way to meet her readers! On sunny days she heads for her favourite seaside cafe to eat cheese toasties and watch the dogs playing on the beach.
