Claire Ward-Dutton - Little Parachutes
Little Parachutes Gold Star Winner
In this charming picture book, a group of children (including Leigh, a wheelchair user) work together to support each other to make costumes for a school event.
Leigh is struggling with feelings of self-consciousness and frustration, but he successfully overcomes this.
Once again, author Charlene McIver has woven an engaging and helpful story together featuring genuinely likeable and realistic characters, which are further shaped into life by Caroline Key's beautiful watercolour and pencil illustrations.
