Does anyone know of any stories about a child/children with cerebral palsy? Have been looking around but can't seem to find one suitable for pre-schoolers but there must be something around!

or put "cerebral palsy and story books" into Google as there are several sites there.

Topsy and Tim Make a New Friend isn't a book specifically about CP but is a good intro to children who are wheelchair bound.

Hello there. Just browsing and thought of an ideal book called, if my memory serves me well. 'What Susan likes.' It is about a girl playing with her pre-school friends and only towards the end do you realise she is a wheelchair user. A really good book, well though out and promotes questioning as well as understanding. Hope this helps.
