Owning It: Our Disabled Childhoods in Our Own Words (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780571380022)

'Honest, hopeful, hilarious and heartwarming.' - Cerrie Burnell

From birthday parties, to navigating the sports field, to being given random free stuff, to juggling hospital visits alongside social lives . . .

These twenty-two true stories capture the highs and lows, the tears and laughter, the friendships and fallouts of growing up with a disability.

Whether you're disabled yourself, or know someone who is, or want to better understand the experience, this book is a window into the young lives of these disabled writers: their stories, in their own words.
