Quentin Blake

"One good thing about illustration is that you can control the way you do it .. It is not a separate strand - it is about disabled children being part of the make-up of the story, in the swimming pool or playground or wherever ..."

"I think it's very important to include disabled children in books in an ordinary, everyday kind of way. I feel that they should be simply part of the story, as characters in their own right - funny, friendly, feisty downright naughty, whatever!"

New image added to the image bank!

The latest image to be added to the In The Picture "images for Inspiration" section of the website is an article from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home magazine "Paws". The article was illustrated by Jason Chapman and includes an illustration of a girl on a tricycle. It demonstrates how inclusive images can be incorporated into any type of publication be it books or other media - they don't have to be "special"!
