What to expect:

The book explores a diverse range of firsthand experiences of childhood disability. Each chapter is unique, written by a different author.

Some chapters give advice and guidance to young disabled readers. Others look back on the author's childhood memories, and where they are today.

Please take a look at the agenda below to see how the meeting will work in more detail.

 

Don’t worry if you haven’t had time to start or finish the book before the meeting. You are more than welcome to come along and discuss as much or as little of the book as you’d like. We will explain things in advance and keep the themes general so that everyone can take part in our conversation.
