Centring on her middle-grade novel Thunderhead and her own personal story of hearing loss, Sophie Beer talks through the importance of inclusion and diversity in children’s/YA literature (with lots of giggles along the way).
Students will experience what hearing loss is like, talk about their favourite bands and books, and come away from the discussion with a new way of looking at the importance of empathy and representation in literature.
