Synopsis

Bea loves being outside and keeping busy with her friends. Sports Day is coming, and usually, she is very excited, but she has just been diagnosed with Dyspraxia.

Will this change everything? Can she still compete? Will having Dyspraxia stop her from doing her best?

Follow Bea as she learns to deal with her new diagnosis and finds her own way to tackle Sports Day!

Blurb:

Bea is a determined and resourceful 7-year-old girl. She has just been diagnosed with Dyspraxia, which she still doesn't quite understand yet. What she does know is that sometimes things feel a little harder for her to do, unlike her friends. Bea's been told she's a "little clumsy", so sports day might be more challenging than she first thought. But through her determination and willpower, Bea realises that Dyspraxia hasn't replaced her other strengths. She can still reach the end of the race; she needs to use her other qualities.

Jumping Hurdles is an uplifting picture book that highlights one girl's reality of having a diagnosis. A beautiful SEL book that promotes positivity for children with Dyspraxia whilst teaching empathy and understanding for those who don't.

This book is one of a kind, as it is the only book on the market in the UK that has a main character with Dyspraxia. The book follows Bea as she tackles her first sports day after finding out she has Dyspraxia. This is a much-needed book in the UK, as around 10% of people have a diagnosis, and they are severely underrepresented in the book community.

About that the author:

Sarah Surgey is a children's author whose books help children to reflect and grow. Sarah comes from a teaching background, and it was here that she realised just how valuable books are to children's emotional and social well-being. Sarah works with children's publishers in the UK, across Europe and beyond. By the end of 2024, she will have 7 picture books published across the globe. A mum to 4 daughters, four cats and one dog, she can be found forever with a notebook and pencil in her hand because who has the time actually to sit at a desk and write?
