I don’t want to give away too much about the story but I will say that the story gives an invaluable and uplifting message about never giving up on your dreams no matter what you are facing.

In the News - a recent article in the Guardian about the lack of disabled characters in children's picture books - link here - well Danny's Dream goes a little way towards this, one more quality title including a disabled character.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I've had paintings bought, and designs on Christmas cards, which is brilliant - but this is very much on another level.

The book itself is really good quality with large colourfully printed pages, I really like that at the start of the book there is a photo of Ian Parker painting with his mouth, alongside the author Victor Margiotta. Each book has been carefully levelled to ensure steady progression with a range of text types introduced which children can use as a model for their own writing.

Written and illustrated by Vanessa and Charlotte when they were twelve years old, Danny's Dream captures the wonders and spirit of being a child.Danny has so many supportive people surrounding him in the book, cheering him on and reminding him that he can achieve his dreams even if they are slightly different than his original ones. I tried to think what would I want for them if it was me, and I wanted them to live as normal a life as possible, with hopes and dreams and not define themselves as a sick person first.
