I’d definitely recommend it for children aged 5-8 and it would be a great addition to a school library. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.
In the News - a recent article in the Guardian about the lack of disabled characters in children's picture books - link here - well Danny's Dream goes a little way towards this, one more quality title including a disabled character. Danny's Dream - great story, fab illustrations, and I'm totally awe-inspired that it is possible to paint such detailed picture book illustrations while holding a brush in your mouth - astounding! Before reading the story we looked through all of the artwork and talked about how long it must take to be able to paint such intricate pictures without the use of your hands – 2 whole years in fact! Fast Forward Instructional Texts are especially designed for teacher-led guided or shared reading sessions with less-able readers (either individuals or groups at the same level) and form the core of Fast Forward’s finely-levelled approach.Their illness did not prevent them from following their dreams, leading a productive life, finding love and influencing so many with their joyful spirit.
It’s aimed at a slightly older age group than the books I would normally recommend on this blog (probably best for those aged 5+) – but I’m sharing it because Ivy was fascinated by the illustrations and the story behind them. He’s not had an easy start in life so, whenever he can, he heads to his favourite tree in the middle of the forest, climbs to a little platform at the top and closes his eyes. I've been drawing with my mouth ever since I can remember, any opportunity with pencil or pen on lined or plain paper for hours.I tried to think what would I want for them if it was me, and I wanted them to live as normal a life as possible, with hopes and dreams and not define themselves as a sick person first.
Great Deal
