Julia Eccleshare's comment:

A prize winning title, this introduces Susan who loves to swing, dance, swim, ride do all the things other children do. In fact, she’s no different from any other little girl except that, as the final spread shows, she gets about in a wheel chair. The vigour and active text is perfectly supported by Tony Ross’s warm hearted illustrations.

Synopsis

Susan Laughs by Jeanne Willis

Susan laughs, she sings, she flies, she swings. She's good, she's bad, she's happy and she's sad. In fact, Susan is just like everybody else, even though she is in a wheelchair.



Reviews

A dream team of writer and illustrator!
The Times
A very special book. Bookseller This is a simply brilliant book that every nursery and reception class or childminder's home should have in their book area.
Early Years Educator
In any discussion of disability in children's literature, this title is bound to be the first book mentioned and it is certainly one of the best.
Books For Keeps
Suffused with the honesty and humour we expect from this expert illustrator. Armadillo Magazine



About The Author


Jeanne Willis

Jeanne has been writing since she was five and has published over 150 books across all genres from picture books to teen fiction. She has had other strange jobs alongside being an author, including cowboy boot seller and reptile vet's assistant and once conducted the school orchestra in concert despite not being able to read a note of music or identify the instruments. As well as cats, rabbits, hamsters, dogs, fish and rats, she has owned a garter snake called Betty, a 25 years old smooth-clawed toad called Dave, an axolotl, newts, locusts and some giant hissing stick insects. She was once thrown out of her religious studies class at school by the Reverend Brown for writing rude poems. She was the Blue Team Captain at Junior School, sprinted for the county and can still do cartwheels.

She has won numerous awards including the Red House Children’s Book Award, the Smarties Prize and the Sheffield Children’s Book Award. She lives in North London.
