Happy Mother’s Day 💐🤍 One strong memory is when my mum used to read the Noddy books to me every night just before bed. I still have those books even now.

I wouldn’t be where I am without the love and support of my mum @jacquit1962! Thank you for everything you do and have done for me! 🤍🤍🤍

These projects were a joy to work on and I hope to carry on working alongside the disabled community to promote inclusivity and diversity in children’s picture books 🤍

After 13 long weeks, I finally handed in my third module children’s dummy book! Inspired by my sister Catherine to create a story that informs, inspires and explores having a child who has Down Syndrome.

Children picture books about Down Syndrome is sparse and most use outdated language and ideals. All disability’s should have correct representation in any form of literature/media.

I was super lucky to have all the help from my friends and family, who supported, helped and gave me invaluable advice. 🫶🏼🤍

From someone who never drew from observation.. I can tell you it’s been the most eye opening experience and it is very rewarding (when it turns out good) 🍂🍂
