The Book Dragon had the pleasure of attending Teesside University's Beyond the Book event with author @lisette_auton She had some fascinating things to share about her writing, the publishing industry and being a proud North East writer!

Wonderful seeing how @lisette_auton’s responses weave into this conversation with @AuthorKarenOwen and @SarahHaggerHolt. It’s day 3 @FCBGNews conference #FCBG24
I wish I could have been there in person @FCBGNews #FCBG24 but train strikes and a wobbly body are never a good mix! Excellent accommodations to ensure my voice could still be heard - thank you. I hope the rest of your final day is fabulous and that I get to meet you all soon.
I’d also love to share that @lisette_auton does some really wonderful work with children and young people in various communities around the UK. She’s brill!

So, as you may have seen today, an advert for a reboot of a children's book branded a disability as 'disgusting'. Plenty of discourse already about why this is awful, so rather than add more here's a thread of some books with excellent representation that you could enjoy instead.
Not a current giveaway so ignore that bit, but don’t ignore the photo on the right which shows the incredible opening passage of @lisette_auton’s #SecretOfHavenPoint & addresses disability & language clearly, proudly & beautifully. Ableism has no place in children’s literature.

In light of *that* announcement today, I’d like to remind folks of some middle grade books which have authentic disability & chronic illness representation from authors with lived experience. And where disabilities are NOT used to portray villains. Feel free to add more!
As a bit of a book worm I love this series, bringing together our graduate authors for our Beyond the Book collection. The next event is next week with @lisette_auton, sharing insight into her journey as a disabled novelist...

Saturday was a pleasure with a writing workshop and lots of book writing 🩷 and lots of book talk over coffee and cake…
The Book Dragon had the pleasure of attending Teesside University's Beyond the Book event with author @lisette_auton She had some fascinating things to share about her writing, the publishing industry and being a proud North East writer!
@drakebookshop @authorontheedge @JamesENicol @vashti_hardy @lisette_auton @DanSmithAuthor THE LEGENDARY TOUR! 🎉 What are your rough dates this year? (Gentle dates also welcome!)
@ebbandflobooks @authorontheedge @JamesENicol @vashti_hardy @lisette_auton @DanSmithAuthor given the 2 hours 17 journey time, I'm not sure we are quite ready to camp out on Saddleworth in the minibus over night 😂 in order to make it a 3rd day, but never say never lol
Hana found the Eid presents! PHEW! 🎁🥳😍 We’re all set for Eid now! Hope you all have a WONDERFUL day ❤️
@lisette_auton @FCBGNews Wow looks amazing.
Penultimate session at the wonderful #FCBG24 Inclusion & environmental themes. More cakes 😋
@lisette_auton @FCBGNews I'm so glad it was possible for you to still be present. These accommodations don't happen often enough! 💙
@lisette_auton @FCBGNews It was a joy to have you here, even if virtually!! My daughter has a wobbly body and relies on trains. Not an ideal combo!
Wonderful seeing how @lisette_auton’s responses weave into this conversation with @AuthorKarenOwen and @SarahHaggerHolt. It’s day 3 @FCBGNews conference #FCBG24
Thank you @lisette_auton for joining us #FCBG24 @FCBGNews and contributing your thoughtful reflections to the fascinating discussion surrounding the writing of disabled characters and the importance of hearing #OwnVoices
I’d also love to share that @lisette_auton does some really wonderful work with children and young people in various communities around the UK. She’s brill!
In light of *that* announcement today, I’d like to remind folks of some middle grade books which have authentic disability & chronic illness representation from authors with lived experience. And where disabilities are NOT used to portray villains. Feel free to add more!
@lisette_auton We do! I live in Sunderland now so let me know when you're back round my way!
There's two @lisette_auton books in here and I'd just like to add on a personal note that her books mean so much to me as I'd never seen disabled people from the north east in books, just living their lives and talking like me. This makes such a difference to adults and kids

So, as you may have seen today, an advert for a reboot of a children's book branded a disability as 'disgusting'. Plenty of discourse already about why this is awful, so rather than add more here's a thread of some books with excellent representation that you could enjoy instead.
