19.  Letterbox Library: children’s books with a focus on disability

Letterbox Library’s New Year Catalogue includes a special focus on disability in children’s books. Letterbox Library has for many years worked hard to source quality disability titles for children. The New Year catalogue features our reviewers’ best picks of the ‘classics’ as well as many exciting new titles from the UK and abroad.

Letterbox Library (LL) is a children’s booksellers and a not-for-profit social enterprise. Our customers include schools, libraries, early years settings and individuals. We have a long established reputation for sourcing children’s books which celebrate equality and diversity. A number of our books are imported and are hard to access elsewhere. Our specialisms include:

·       multicultural and non-sexist children’s books

·       books which explore personal and social issues

·       books which  feature groups of people traditionally under-represented in children’s literature, e.g.: different faith groups, disabled people, black/minority ethnic communities, refugees

Uniquely, all of our books have been approved by an independent team of volunteer reviewers which includes Ofsted inspectors, childminders, teachers, social workers, nursery workers, parents and children. Books are carefully selected for their (1) inclusiveness (2) quality in art work and storyline (3) strong child-appeal. Our reviewers come from a wide range of backgrounds and include disabled children/adults.

Letterbox Library’s New Year Catalogue is the culmination of our research into the best disability titles available from the UK and abroad.  They also include books recommended by key disability organisations. From old favourites- Seal Surfer, Mama Zooms to great new titles- Dan and Diesel, Victoria’s Day, there should be something here for everyone.
