Tia and Claire both have challenges at school. Tia has a new pair of glasses and Claire uses a wheelchair. Their fears of teasing at school come true, but from shared adversity comes a true friendship as they find they have much in common beyond their obvious differences.
This charming picture book follows the girls journey as they learn about themselves, each other, friendship and the world. It is the first in the Fabulous Friends series of picture books for older readers and explores/touches on subjects such as acceptance, bullying, inclusion, fitting in, disability, anxiety and more, without making it a heavy part of the story. The aim of the book, of course, being to be fun, empowering and uplifting.
A story that shines the power of friendship and it’s ability to break down stereotypical barriers to the heart of understanding and recognising the strength and courage it takes to “be” no matter what.
Thanks Tabitha and Alexander for bringing this book into the world.
