Description

Jess is out for a walk with her friends when she is faced with a difficult situation and is not afraid to step in. Despite her disabilities, she sets about helping Rosie the guide dog get her master safely back to his family. | Jess has sight problems herself, which is why she wanted to write this book. She lost confidence for a while and was frightened about losing her sight, but Jess as usual bounced back and now volunteers at Guide Dogs for the Blind events. | Since the last book, 'She's Still My Nan', Jess has received two amazing awards, including a permanent plaque at The Hive Library in Worcester for achievements as an author. Jess also received a national award as a leader of people with learning disabilities and autism for changing her community. She inspires people to never give up because `It's ok to be different because we are all the same inside!'

Author Biography

We cannot believe this is our fourth book. Since publishing the first, life has been a wonderful rollercoaster of visits to schools and other groups to give Jess the opportunity to talk to young people and encourage them to `never give up!' We have been on the radio and Jess has been given two fantastic awards and has won another medal at the Special Olympics Great Britain. Jess keeps very busy on top of all this and has now joined a signing choir which she really enjoys. | Jo, as well as being Jess' PA, also does a lot of voluntary work as well as indulging her love of ballet. But most of all she loves being with her family, especially her two very energetic grandsons!
