Description
In Who Am I? Emily and her mum imaginatively explore who she is.In a study done in 2020/21, it was found that most children wouldn't make friends with someone who looked different to them; this could be because of their size, their colour, or their disability. It's not too surprising, really. Have a think about the villains in films and books; what do they look like? Many of them are fat, or bald, disabled or disfigured. It highlights the differences we have.I don't like it. And that's why, in my Emily stories, the stories aren't about her disability, about how she looks different, because I want readers to see that we all have far more in common than that which makes us different; I want readers to see that, when we accept and celebrate our differences, our worlds open up to so much more joy, to so many more experiences. Surely that's a better way to be?As I say frequently, and as Emily's Mum says in the story, it's who we are and what we do that matters, and we really are wonderful, just as we are.
