Willow Foster-Thorpe, an emerging children’s author hailing from the United Kingdom, is proud to announce the growing success of her inspiring book series, Unique Creatures. Written to shine a light on children and young people with disabilities, Foster-Thorpe’s stories center on animal characters navigating the world with empathy, courage, and an unwavering sense of hope.
Heartwarming Stories for Kids with Disabilities
In a village called Creatureville, snails, frogs, and glowworms live together harmoniously, each facing challenges that mirror the real-life experiences of children with disabilities. These stories bring to life the powerful sentiment behind Foster-Thorpe’s guiding words, “Having a disability shouldn’t define who you are. Everyone is unique and different.”
Foster-Thorpe herself has faced her own set of difficulties and disabilities. Motivated by her personal journey, she set out to show that children and young people everywhere—regardless of their limitations—can achieve their dreams. She says, “I wanted to inspire others who have difficulties or disabilities to say, ‘You can do it!’”
