Synopsis

Foreword by Lee Ridley, Lost Voice Guy: "I certainly enjoyed reading this book, and I hope you will as well! As someone who has lived with no speech for all of my life. I found this book to be very relatable. It is so nice to see a representation of people with communication difficulties in books such as this one."

Just as the heroine in these stories, in real life Erin is a young girl who cannot walk, talk or use her hands. She has cerebral palsy. Within are subtle messages for her and many others* such as 'never give up', 'I am able just as I am', 'reading gives one so much' and 'accept me as me'.

Clare Latham was asked by SpecialEffect founder Dr Mick Donegan if she could build a communication system with Erin, which she did together with her Mum and personal assistant. Erin's tenacity, ability and sense of fun then spurred Clare to write these stories from their shared experiences and, as it were, keep her going.

* There are 17 million around the world living with cerebral palsy (US National Institute of Health)

SpecialEffect

The charity is dedicated to giving disabled people the technology to access video games and the internet, thus promoting fun and inclusion. Dr Donegan was awarded an MBE for his service to disability.
