A warm, funny and empowering guide to what you can expect growing up disabled, written by disabled journalist and mum Cathy Reay.

Have you ever felt like you don?t fit in anywhere?Or like no-one understands what it feels like to be you?Maybe you feel like you?re the only person in the world who looks, moves or thinks like you do. Well, I?m here to tell you that you are not alone, and you belong in the world exactly as you are.

In this honest, funny, empowering guide, Cathy Reay draws on her own experiences of growing up disabled to encourage young readers to embrace (or at least, feel kinda sorta OK with) their disabled identity.

This book will guide disabled readers through navigating the move from primary to secondary school, voicing their accessibility needs, finding disabled community and gaining the confidence to stand up for their rights, and for others too. Cathy examines the challenges faced by disabled children, touching gently on issues such as bullying and discrimination, and what to do when people just don?t get it, with comforting and practical advice to help readers through tough times.

How To Be Disabled and Proud empowers disabled readers to value and appreciate themselves for who they are, exactly as they are, and acts as a powerful call to action for both disabled and non-disabled children to advocate for a more accessible, more understanding world.

Featuring interviews from a wide range of disabled changemakers and friends, including Ellie Simmonds, Jameisha Prescod, Nina Tame, Dr Shani Dhanda, Ellie Middleton, Elle McNicoll, Simon Wheatcroft and even a couple of disabled kids.

This is the essential guide to growing up disabled, perfect for children aged 9+ to read together with their families.

Super soft and strong , really nice blanket
Color: Navy, Size: Queen (90" X 90"), Color: Navy, Size: Queen (90" X 90")
This blanket is so soft. This blanket has stretch to it which is nice for tucking under mattress. Easy to lay out and fits perfectly on a queen bed, perfect amount of hangover. Great quality blanket. I did wash before I put on the bed and it did great. Shed in dryer but that’s easy clean up in vent. No shedding on bed after washed. I laid on bed before washed and it only shed a small amount, not much. I absolutely love this material, strong yet super soft. Definitely a great blanket to buy! You’ll love it.

soft, cozy, lightweight. Drapes nicely or folds flat & even. Warm as liner to another blanket
Color: Orange, Size: Twin(60"x80"), Color: Orange, Size: Twin(60"x80")
Summer weight, soft feel, cozy. If using in cooler temps, then consider using it as a liner, then toss another blanket on top. Nice cozy way to trap in heat. I love orange and was looking for a functional throw blanket. I didnt want the typical lap blanket size (50"x60"). I am tall and wanted something I can tuck my feet under and pull up to my chest when on the couch. But I also wanted it to be decorative when not in use. Not wanting a thick blanket for this purpose, I looked for a thin one of this style. It folds small and flat, OR drapes nicely when tossed. Even at twin size (60"x 80"), it still works as a "throw" blanket. It measures a little wider and aittle shorter so not perfect twin length. It is thin, but not see through. Very soft. Haven't washed it yet, so hopefully it holds up. ALSO, we have cats and dogs, so I am always looking at something to see if it can also be used for them. Depending on size, these blankets would make good furniture covers. Nicer than sheets, cheaper than pet products, thin enough to toss in washer, and a material that will stay in place on fabric furniture. Or just a blankey for pets that like to get cozy. WHICH, at the time of my writing this, my recent rescue dog from the south is experiencing the cool fall temps of fall. She is snuggled up tight against me. I have this blanket as the base on me and the couch, and then a thicker fleece blanket on top of me and her. I just took a pic and will include it.

Comfortable, durable and great for everyday use
Color: Brown, Size: Queen(90"x90")
This blanket is super cozy and soft, and it’s true to size. I got the brown color, and the quality is excellent. I’ve washed it multiple times, and it comes out looking like new every time. It’s on the thinner side but still keeps you warm—perfect for lounging on the couch or sitting by the fire. The fabric stretches a bit, but not in a way that would cause it to rip or break. Pros: Soft and cozy True to size Maintains quality after washing Lightweight yet warm Slight stretch without damage Cons: Thin, may not be sufficient for very cold nights Conclusion: Overall, this blanket is comfortable, durable, and great for everyday use. It’s ideal for relaxing at home while staying warm.
