Come Over to My House

I have a soft spot for picture books and books for young readers by disabled writers because THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH OF THEM!!

But things are slowly getting better. I'm excited to offer 3 hardcover copies of Come Over to My House by Eliza Hull and Sally Rippin and illustrated by Daniel Gray-Barnett. Published by Bright Light in Australia, it is available in the US and other countries now. Details below!

About the book

Come Over To My House is a delightful picture book for young children and their families. Featuring a gorgeous die-cut cover, bright illustrations and a diverse cast, the book explores and embraces the home lives of children who have a family member with a disability. Co-written by disability advocate Eliza Hull and bestselling author Sally Rippin, the inclusive rhyming text authentically explores the characters' various disabilities. A cast of friendly characters invite friends over for a play - there's fun to be had, food to eat and families to meet!

Come over to my house. Come over and play!
I'll show you around, you can stay the whole day.
We'll swing on the swing-set and splash in the pool.
Then I'll race you inside where my bedroom is cool.

Featuring a gorgeous die-cut cover, bright illustrations and a diverse cast, this is a must-read for all families.
