A warm, funny and empowering guide to what you can expect growing up disabled, written by disabled journalist and mum Cathy Reay.
Have you ever felt like you don?t fit in anywhere?Or like no-one understands what it feels like to be you?Maybe you feel like you?re the only person in the world who looks, moves or thinks like you do. Well, I?m here to tell you that you are not alone, and you belong in the world exactly as you are.
In this honest, funny, empowering guide, Cathy Reay draws on her own experiences of growing up disabled to encourage young readers to embrace (or at least, feel kinda sorta OK with) their disabled identity.
This book will guide disabled readers through navigating the move from primary to secondary school, voicing their accessibility needs, finding disabled community and gaining the confidence to stand up for their rights, and for others too. Cathy examines the challenges faced by disabled children, touching gently on issues such as bullying and discrimination, and what to do when people just don?t get it, with comforting and practical advice to help readers through tough times.
How To Be Disabled and Proud empowers disabled readers to value and appreciate themselves for who they are, exactly as they are, and acts as a powerful call to action for both disabled and non-disabled children to advocate for a more accessible, more understanding world.
Featuring interviews from a wide range of disabled changemakers and friends, including Ellie Simmonds, Jameisha Prescod, Nina Tame, Dr Shani Dhanda, Ellie Middleton, Elle McNicoll, Simon Wheatcroft and even a couple of disabled kids.
This is the essential guide to growing up disabled, perfect for children aged 9+ to read together with their families.
