In The Picture
Everyone can do something to make a difference in the lives of special needs children. To all illustrators and writers out there, you can learn valuable principles from SCOPE, a disability organization in England and Wales whose focus is people with cerebral palsy.
Scope's In The Picture campaign is about encouraging publishers, illustrators and writers to embrace diversity - so that disabled children, who have been virtually invisible until recently, are included alongside others in illustrations and story lines in books for young readers.
It is not an attempt to create a separate strand of children’s literature, tackling disability issues.
People from every area concerned with children's books - from makers to sellers to buyers can influence and be part of this changing culture.
In The Picture website has a number of stories and resources. Check them out!
