It's OK! written by New Zealand author, Jo Heslop and illustrated by Annie Roska

We have been lucky enough to have had the book 'It's OK!' donated to our library by Mrs Garing (in the office)'s mother.

It's OK! has been written by a mother of a special needs son from Waitahuna, a small country town near Lawrence, Otago and beautifully illustrated by his teacher aid.

"One day a little boy named Brody starts at a new school. Brody has special needs and his story tells how his classmates come to realise that "it's ok to be different!"

The book can be purchased from selected bookshops and by email: benandjoheslop@xtra.co.nz
