OK, so this might be going a little off the topic, but we need to do more than just burst stigma around mental health but also physical health. Hence why i love How i Fall so much.
I'm not a big book person, but i've just found my new favorite book How I fall by Anne Eliot. Wow is it a good book.
The main character is a girl called Ellen who just also happens to have a mild form of cerebral palsy which affects the left side of her body. But unlike many of these type of books you truly get to know the character and its so much more than just CP. I'm trying not to give any spoilers.
For people who don't know much about CP it shows that all Ellen is is a ordinary teenager well Ellen is a extraordinary teenager but also, It gives insight into the struggles she faces every day both from her perspective and others.
Ellen does not let CP get in her way at all, she sets a goal and works towards that no matter how many people might tell her she cannot. But it also shows that its good to ask for help too something which i think we all need to do some more.
Now i'm just eagerly waiting on How I Fly which has a amazing green cover for CP awareness. But what will happen? Im hoping for a happy ending but more than anything i just want to know whats going to happen to Ellen
I need to say a big thanks to the little birdy who told me about this book thanks, and remember your amazing. Now i'm off to start reading it for the third time :).
