Whether you want to use it yourself, or gift it to a friend, this book will be sure to get those feel good hormones and chemicals flowing through your system completely naturally. Steve Anthony has created a story that has no forced message about disability; instead he uses Zibbo the dragon to reflect acceptance and inclusion (Zibbo is very different to the children in every way, but they love and accept him regardless). It was so well organised, and the authors gave such good talks (hearing their origin stories was so much better than when they just read from their books!

In a far distant future, psychohistorian Hari Seldon has analyzed the cycle of history and realizes that after twelve thousand years in power, the Galactic Empire is headed toward collapse. Within relatively few words, alongside elegantly flowing and expressive illustrations by Karen George, the Catchpoles convey a complex topic with a dexterous lightness of tone and clarity. Within its walls are two competing magicians, Celia and Marco, bound together in a high stakes challenge. In this astounding work, McCullough tells of one year of the American Revolution – of the leadership of George Washington, the brilliance of Nathanael Greene, and the ingenuity of Henry Knox.Although the book focuses on a little boy in a wheelchair until it was brought up by an adult the children didn't even say anything and the book doesn't mention it either.

Above all, Zibbo loves going to birthday parties, although in a hilarious final scene we see that he can prove a bit of a fire hazard when it comes to blowing out the candles!I think this is a great thing for the children to see as it shows them that they can do anything if they want to and having a supportive friend is great encouragement. I chose this book because the main character uses a wheelchair, and I wanted to reflect the experience of some of our children.
