Description
“And Carry On” by Sebastian Kopanski
‘Simply brilliant and catching stories. Must read for all parents.’ Agnes, mum of two
‘I think the book is a really interesting read! The stories tell us about important issues and life problems and give us a snapshot of young people’s lives. It is an amazing idea!’ Ruqaiyah, 14 years old student
One week. Seven extraordinary young people. They enjoy their fascinating lives despite enormous challenges, which some people would call a ‘tragedy’ or ‘unbearable burden’.
“I cannot see anything because I’m blind,” says Oliver. Tosia is bullied because she was born abroad. “I feel anxiety often,” says Hannah who has autism. Jo is a girl who has a boy’s body. “Sometimes I wish I wasn’t disabled,” says Lewis who needs other people’s help with most of the everyday tasks. Josh felt very angry at his dad after he had died. “But most of the time I can only feel sounds,” says Eve who is deaf.
These amazing children do not take self-pity on themselves and carry on!
Accept this unique invitation and spend one day with each child. Be with them from the moment they wake up until they go to bed. Find out what their lives are like and what helps them to carry on. Are their lives and yours very different from each other? What do you have in common? What can you learn from each child? What challenges have you got in your life? What helps you to carry on?
All characters are the fruits of the author’s imagination but based on the real lives of real extraordinary children.
