Beschreibung

Growing up disabled can be an isolating experience. As much as you might be surrounded by loving and well-meaning friends and family, chances are no one close to you is going through this alongside you... until now!

From navigating sports at school, to facing the confusion of getting given free stuff all the time, to juggling hospital trips alongside your social life, this anthology of firsthand experiences of childhood disability will be a welcome companion for disabled children. For non-disabled children it provides a welcome own-voice perspective and will help build empathy and understanding. A very powerful, much-needed book.

With contributions from Elle McNicoll, Nina Tame, Rebekah Taussig, Carly Findlay, Kendra Winchester, Ashley Harris Whaley, Daniel Sluman, Leona Godin, Alex Wegman, Christa Couture, Sora Iriye, Steven Verdile, Jan Grue, Imani Barbarin, Eugene Grant, Matilda Feyisayo Ibini, James Catchpole, Jen Campbell, Polly Atkin and Ali Abbas.

Autor

James Catchpole was destined to be either an itinerant singer or an amputee footballer. He managed to get off the substitutes' bench a couple of times for the England Amputee Football Team, and also busked around Provence with a guitar (another profession where it actively helps to have one leg), but reached the limits of his talent in both fields by his mid-twenties, and so joined the family business of children's books. He now runs The Catchpole Agency with his wife Lucy, and represents authors and illustrators of children's picture books, non-fiction and novels, including Polly Dunbar, SF Said, Michelle Robinson and David Lucas. Lucy and James live in Oxford with their two young daughters, the eldest of whom is firmly convinced she will be joining the business too - but at five, she has plenty of time to recant.
Lucy Catchpole read English at Oxford. She and her writing have appeared in the Guardian, Observer, and the BBC. She's a full-time wheelchair user, and alongside her husband posts @thecatchpoles on Instagram, talking about family life, disability and their children's literary agency.
