Children’s books by disabled authors | A big list for Disability History Month

Lucy Catchpole with Mama Car in a bookshop. Lucy's in Caper Oxford next to a display of my picture book Mama Car, sitting in my wheelchair, smiling at the camera. I’m wearing my green linen skirt, burnt orange cardigan, embroidered scarf & black beret. Mama Car cover art: a white background, a wheelchair-using mother on the front with a child on her lap, who looks slightly like me - illustrated by Karen George. Text over the top reads "My book in a bookshop!" on paper. It's a bright, cosy bookshop.

My book in a bookshop! | Mama Car at Caper Oxford

Book announcement! Lucy and James - a white disabled couple - sit in their kitchen holding a large postcard with the title ‘Owning It: Tales From Our Disabled Childhoods’. Text reads ‘Announcement!’ on cream torn paper. It’s a cosy room with teacups and crockery on shelves. James is wearing a linen shirt and the new brown waistcoat, Lucy is wearing a dark brown cardigan and matching beret - we’re both smiling. We’re holding books by some of the contributors.
