Hannah is a fantastic character who has such life struggles but she really shows her audience that she has so much inner strength and belief in herself.
Also Pixie pug also stole my heart, he is just the most amazing pug I’ve seen and his flappy, floppy tongue ha!

A Bit About
Donna Grinyer - Author
Donna is mother to two beautiful daughters, a couple of cats, a crazy new frenchie puppy and a smelly little pug! She spent most of her career working in education; in particular with students who live with physical and or learning challenges. She is a compassionate soul with a determined and adventurous spirit. She also likes nothing more than releasing her inner child causing a little bit of mischief!
Donna tenaciously pushes herself everyday to overcome her own disabilities in order to work in the career she loves and enjoys so much. Her dedication and love is so great that she is now undertaking teacher training in order to advance in this wonderful area of education. In her work she strives to inspire her students to realize their potential; to figure out how to do tasks as independently as possible and facilitate their understanding, as well as encourage the belief that they can do whatever they want, they might just do it differently!
A strongly held belief of hers is that everyone has the right to be included in life, to feel valued, to contribute and to know that no matter what difficulties they have, that they are loved and respected. Through compassion and empathy she guides young people with additional needs to learn to help themselves; by offering educational, emotional, as well as, physical support.
Through her teaching and writing Donna’s goal is to encourage resilience, self belief, mental toughness and positive self talk in children; in order to stand them in good stead for the many and varied challenges of adulthood. She achieves this by reinforcing the message for them to be happy in themselves and ensuring that they always know that they are doing their best, that they are important and that they can contribute, even if they do it differently.
