Synopsis

My Dad Can reassures children that a parent’s wheelchair doesn’t change who they are. 
 
Iris's dad is the best. He blows up her floaties when she wants to go swimming. He covers her eyes when they watch scary movies. Best of all, she loves that she can climb into his lap for warm cuddles. 
 
Her dad is amazing.  
 
But one day at the park, Iris meets a little boy who is quick to point out everything her dad can’t do. Iris is sad until dad reminds her that he's just like everyone else, regardless of his wheelchair.  
 
A heartwarming picture book about a young girl who learns that her dad's wheelchair doesn't define what he can or can't do, perfect for sparking meaningful conversations that celebrate inclusion.  

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Stephen Lightbown is a Bristol-based poet and picture book writer. 

Paralysed from below the waist following an accident when he was sixteen, Stephen uses his writing to give a voice to his disability. He is the author of two poetry collections for adults and one for children. 

His children’s collection, And I Climbed, And I Climbed, published in September 2023 by Troika Books, was picked as a Book Trust book of the month; a Read for Empathy 2025 collection; a National Poetry Day 2024 selected title; and was shortlisted for the CLiPPA Poetry Award 2024 and the UKLA Book Awards 2025. 

Stephen has also represented England twice at the disabled surfing World Championships. 

Claire Sahara Lemp is an illustrator based in Duluth, Minnesota, who studied a Masters of Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art in Cambridge, England.

Much of her life has been spent deep in observation of the world around her, noticing the details of relationship, emotion, humour, place. In her work, she seeks to express these observations through colour and traditional media.

If she's not nose down in a sea of paper, you might find her alone in the woods, or meandering with her 6-year-old looking for treasure.
