Reviews
A landmark inclusive story * The Bookseller *
Very short chapters, varied fonts and black-and-white illustrations make Lenny's story appealing and accessible to a wide range of readers. Ideal as a shared reading project to kickstart discussions about diversity, empathy and inclusivity * BookTrust *
Such a brilliant thing to shine a light on. I can't wait to introduce this book to my children * Gordon Smart, BBC Radio 5 Live *
I Am Lenny Brown is an absolute cracker of a book, and its hero isn't one you will forget quickly. Huge of heart, it reminded me of writers like Morris Gleitzman and Jacqueline Wilson, and there is no greater praise I can offer than that. * Phil Earle, author of When the Sky Falls *
