I Am Lenny Brown cover

There's more than one way to find your voice . . .

Lenny Brown is eight years old and can't talk. Except to his mum and his dog, Rocky.

When Lenny has to move house and start at a new school, it feels like his whole life is changing, and not for the better. Will he be able to make friends and find a way to fit in?

But when Lenny finds a different way to express himself, everyone is in for a big surprise as they find out just how amazing he can be . . .

'An absolute cracker of a book' – Phil Earle, author of When the Sky Falls.

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 *
