Books Beyond Words Series


Available to borrow

Books Beyond Words?

Few picture books are available for adults and adolescents who cannot read or who have difficulty reading. Fewer still provide information and address the emotional aspects of difficult events like the Books Beyond Words series. Each specially commissioned book actively addresses the problems of understanding that people with learning and communication difficulties experience.

The stories are told through colour pictures that include mime and body language, to communicate simple, explicit messages. These help 'readers' to cope with emotions and events such as going to the doctor, bereavement, sexual abuse and depression.

People with learning disabilities trial every single picture before publication to ensure they can be readily understood.

Supporting text and guidelines are given at the back of each book.

The authors are all experts in their fields.

Lists of resources and helpful organisations are provided where appropriate.
