Last week Anthony went to the launch of Moli - the cow who moo she was different! It's a children's book designed to raise awareness and improve understanding of the Autism Spectrum, created by author Mike Church and children across Gwent.
Moli is beautifully illustrated by Andy O'Rourke and tells a story we can all relate to; Moli is bullied by her peers for her differences, until they realise that there's more that unites than divides us. The book is bilingual and introduces some complicated ideas in a simple and accessible way.
Marianna found it easy to follow and had no problem discussing it afterwards. She said that it was sad when Daisy and Delila were mean to Moli, and
Supported by the Gwent Regional Partnership, a copy of the book will be going into all libraries and primary schools across the five authorities. You can pick up a copy of your own at P.E.T.R.A. Publishing, a social enterprise that works with schools and community groups to publish storybooks.
