Few things depict imagery and paint pictures quite as well as stories do. What books out there can help our special needs children? There are books for children and young people with SEND, their brothers, sisters and friends, and parent carers. There are also books for professionals and books on other neurodiverse needs. This book is extremely poignant and what I like about it is that it tells it simply how it is, this book is for children yes, but it does not talk down to children, it explains in an age appropriate manner what autism is. The following particularly moved me as my own son has also uttered these words to me about his younger brother. She is very focused and will concentrate on what she’s doing for long periods of time. At the same time though, she is relaxed and happy. She usually is very proud of her work too, and brings her creations to us to share.

Noah Chases the Wind, by Michelle Worthington You can be happy just enjoying seeing your friends or spending time with the people who care about you the most. A lot of the A-listers I met along the way were very lonely, they have the same insecurities as us, except maybe multiplied by x1000 because they're on such a higher platform.

I had written my first children’s book years before I had children, and was about to have it published. The night before the contract was due, the owner of Halo Publishing called me at home. She encouraged me to write a book about autism because she could tell I wanted to create awareness and help others have a better understanding. When I explained that a story about autism was just an idea, and maybe would be the next book I wrote, she insisted that I do that book first. I hung up and felt like I had just gotten homework, but the next day started to write. I think that, being on The Voice, I protected my family story. They wanted to know about family heartbreak and all that, to make a good show, but I refused to shared that. I spent a long time working with the press team to ensure stories about my family didn't go public, because it involved a lot of people and a lot of people's lives. It didn't seem like the right platform to share that, but with this book, it did feel like the right platform. It's me getting a chance to tell it, and it's also me speaking out to people who may have had to deal with family bereavement or family breakup or the whole pain of having to go through the music industry. With this book, I knew I'd be able to encourage people and speak a bit more hope into that situation."
