While navigating life at home, at school and with friends, each of the characters discover what makes them unique in the best possible way.

The book, which is the first in a series, is published by Spiffing Covers and is available as an eBook or soft back copy.

 

 

Commenting on the launch of the charity’s debut novel, co-founder and trustee of Microtia UK, Hana Salussolia, said: “I have always loved reading, ever since early childhood. While I love stories of those who overcome challenging circumstances, I often find them heartbreaking. Especially stories about kids who have a uniqueness about them, which means they have to fight harder to overcome things. 

“There is room on everyone’s bookshelf for a happy story like this one! Where heroes and heroines with differences don’t suffer or struggle with their uniqueness. These characters are already ‘Proud to be me.’ The adventure they go on in this book is one of fantasy that any child will be able to relate to.” 

Author Adam Rood put his background in the performing arts to use in creating the plot for this adventure. He also sought feedback on every chapter from his daughters aged 12 and 6.

Adam said: “This story is about celebrating all children and what makes each child unique. I hope that by reading this book with their children, parents can identify that every child has their own superpower, which they unlock as they grow and develop. Promoting diversity is so important for this generation of parents.”
