Quentin Blake's image of a child in leg splints

"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!"
