In the 21 years that Letterbox Library has been promoting equality and diversity in children's books, there have been important and welcome changes in the education of the disabled.
Inclusion is a watchword in early years and diversity is seen as something to be celebrated.

Disabled children must feel invisible when they see so few images of children like themselves playing and enjoying life.
