Introducing Austin’s Amazing Adventures: A New Era of Inclusion!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of The Big Test, the first book in the Austin’s Amazing Adventures series by Dave Steele, The Blind Poet, coming this World Sight Day in October!

In this heartwarming series, young readers will meet Austin, a boy with visual impairment, who faces and overcomes everyday challenges with courage and resilience. These stories are designed for children aged 5-10 and aim to provide much-needed representation for children with sight loss, other disabilities, and additional needs.

Why This Series is a Game-Changer:

1. Representation for All : Children with sight loss, disabilities, and additional needs can see themselves in Austin and his adventures, finding heroes who are just like them.
2. Building Empathy: As other children read about Austin, they will learn that kids like him face similar challenges and joys, fostering understanding and empathy.
3. Promoting Inclusion: These stories help break down barriers and encourage inclusivity both at home and in educational settings.
4. Educational Tool: The “Talking Points” section at the end of each book includes open questions to spark meaningful conversations about diversity and inclusion.

Let’s create a world where every child feels seen and understood. By sharing Austin’s journey, we can teach all children that despite our differences, we share common dreams, hopes, and experiences.

Join us in celebrating the power of storytelling to unite us all. Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare for the exciting launch on World Sight Day!
