Cathy Reay Books

A really well-presented, beautifully thought-out book. The layout makes it easy to dip in and out of and is very visually appealing to a reader. The author’s introduction is heart-warming and inspirational, with clear messages that ‘disabled is not a bad word.’ Though the title might lead you to believe that the main audience is the disabled population, it is also a great read for non-disabled readers to understand the best ways to support their disabled peers and loved ones, and to understand that we all must advocate for a more accessible, accepting world.

This is best for Key Stage 2 pupils and is definitely a book which should become a classroom staple read to pupils as an enjoyable text and not simply popped in the library to hit a diversity quota.
