Just Because by Rebecca Elliott

Although one in 20 children in the UK is disabled, disabily is rarely represented in children's books. Illustrator Rebecca Elliott set about rectifying this with her own book Just Because dedicated to her disabled daughter and son.

Narrated by the younger brother, Just Because, is a delightful look at sibling love and pride. Clemmie "can't walk, talk, move around much" ... but "She makes sweet noise, wears silly hats, and pulls funny faces." In fact "Clemmie's my best friend and I love her..." This is a poignantly told tale that brings a tear to the eye.

The illustrations by Rebecca Elliott are fun and appealing – to all age groups.

Of Just Because, the comment from Jacqueline Wilson: "Deserves a place on every bookshelf" and I couldn't agree more.

Just Because by Rebecca Elliott is available from Amazon.
