William
Book Description
William is a BOY – but he’s not just a boy. He is a part of something bigger – a family that loves him for being who he is, and a world full of boys who are just like him! He is adventurous ALWAYS, mischievous SOMETIMES, and far from action NEVER!!! And yet he is loved all the more for his ‘boyishness’ – every tree he climbs, every stone he finds, every Superhero he becomes! In fact, OFTEN William is so busy, doing what boys do, he even forgets to eat! But whether he’s counting bugs or saving the world William knows that he is loved 100%, especially by his mum. He goes to sleep happy - looking forward to making his dreams a reality tomorrow…
William is a quirky, vibrant and charming illustrated children’s book that celebrates the universal truth of boys being boys. This book promotes the unique qualities that boys share, but are so often underrated. William is the perfect way to inspire reading in boys from a young age, to capture their imagination and to boost their sense of self-esteem and belonging.
About the Author
Claire Harrison has always loved to write – as an Arts student, as a Technical Author and now as an author for children. When her little boy William was 3 she had an idea! She wanted to write a book that celebrated boys. When Claire found out her own son now 10 had Asperger’s syndrome, she was even more determined to celebrate his similarities to other boys. She lives in London with her children Joy, Honor and William and her husband Carl.
