A Day at the Seaside (Hattie and Friends) ISBN: 9780955214127
Berrington, Lesley and Middleton, Karen
Published by Paw Print Publishing, 2007
One of a series of books in which disabled children are seen enjoying themselves in entirely normal ways. Lucy is blind, and she and her chum Hattie are going to the seaside with their fathers. They take a bus and chatter excitedly about what they will do. Much is made of the senses of hearing, feel and taste, but no mention is made of Lucy's sight - it is only her dark glasses and white stick that show us she is blind. The two little girls enjoy their day enormously, including making sand castles, riding a donkey, and eating 'the best chips in the world'. Wonderfully colourful, expressive illustrations add much to the feeling of a happy day out. Available from Amazon or from www.hattieandfriends.co.uk (Tel: 01522 789888).
Age: 3+
