What's The Story?There are very few walking frames in children's books. See the comments by Celine on the website about how this one image had a transforming effect on her life. There are also other photographs on the website of children using frames. Our guidance gives more information about walking and standing frames which can be behind or in front of a person. This image is good because it is not intense, not photographic in style and has more than a hint of humour about it! Graham Howells, who drew this illustration, said - "Working on Two Left Feet made me realise how few picture books featured children with disabilities. When I illustrated it I didn't have access to the information that is now available through the In The Picture project, it's a great resource that I hope will mean more books like Two Left Feet get published". "Two Left Feet" is written by Jenny Sullivan and published by Pont Books. |
