Susan Laughs

(1 reviews)

Author: Jeanne Willis Illustrator: Tony Ross

Publisher: Andersen

Susan can do so many things - she can laugh, sing, fly, dance, swim and much more. The final page of this wonderful book reveals that Susan is in a wheelchair, showing that 'disabled' doesn't mean 'disadvantaged'.

This award-winning book with simple rhyming text and cheerful illustrations is a refreshing approach to the subject of disability for young children.

What Happened To You?

Author: James Catchpole Illustrator: Karen George

Joe just wants to play pirates, but the other children notice that he only has one leg and start asking him a barrage of questions. A stunningly clever book with a clear message that someone who happens to be disabled is not a teaching tool, with practical advice for parents on handling questions about this.
