Forever Friends

What is this book about?

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.

What do young people with disability say about this book?

A young tween girl stands against a light blue wall facing the camera. She is wearing a white T-shirt with the denim straps of her overalls showing. Her brunette hair falls loosely to her shoulders as she smiles warmly.

Review by Alyssia

"The book's message is about antibullying, learning to love your differences as that makes you unique, and accepting other people as they are."

Four stars.
