Inclusivity in Story Books: Lesley Berrington, author of Hattie and Friends

In this episode I chat to Lesley Berrington, author of the Hattie and Friends series of books. Lesley wrote the series after realising there was not enough story books out there featuring children with disabilities where their condition wasn’t the main feature of the story. In this episode, Lesley shares: - What inspired her to create the Hattie and Friends series. - Why representation matters in story books. - Why the language we use with children is important.
