Just as the heroine in these stories, in real life Erin is a young
girl who cannot walk, talk or use her hands. She has cerebral
palsy. Within are subtle messages for her and many others* such as
'never give up', 'I am able just as I am', 'reading gives one so
much' and 'accept me as me'... Clare Latham was asked by
SpecialEffect founder Dr Mick Donegan if she could build a
communication system with Erin, which she did together with her Mum
and personal assistant. Erin's tenacity, ability and sense of fun
then spurred Clare to write these stories from their shared
experiences and, as it were, keep her going... * There are 17
million around the world living with cerebral palsy (US National
Institute of Health)... SpecialEffect: The charity is dedicated to
giving disabled people the technology to access video games and the
internet, thus promoting fun and inclusion. Dr Donegan was awarded
an MBE for his service to disability.
