AGES: 10-12
Faced with a whole new life far away from home, Sophie finds it hard to make friends – until a shared passion for water helps someone else come to terms with their disability.
In Her Element’s deep-dive into Sophie’s world offers a rare opportunity for young readers to see through the eyes of a main character with cerebral palsy.
In Her Element was edited by Liz Bankes and art directed by Tiffany Leeson at Farshore.
This beautifully illustrated story is part of the 10 Stories to Make a Difference collection: ten original illustrated stories for young readers, all inspired by the theme of Difference. The collection features a mix of well-known and emerging writers and illustrators, giving a platform to untold stories and diverse new voices. Proceeds from sales supports Pop Up’s work in deprived schools, marginalised communities, and with talented aspiring and emerging writers and illustrators.
