Getting Around My Day is a calm, sensory picture book that follows a child using a wheelchair as they move through the spaces of an ordinary day. From the quiet start of morning at home to navigating school, play, and the journey back again, the story focuses on sound, movement, planning, and awareness.
 
Told in gentle first-person language, the book helps readers understand how environments feel from a different perspective. It explores decision-making, patience, and confidence through everyday moments, showing that there are many ways to move through the world.
Each page features black and grey shaded line illustrations that can also be coloured, encouraging interaction and engagement. Key words such as start, focus, steady, move, solve, skills, and success appear throughout the story to support emotional understanding and positive thinking.
 
Getting Around My Day is designed for:
children aged 3–8
parents and carers reading with young children
inclusive classrooms and early years settings
SEN teachers and support staff
families wanting stories that represent different ways of navigating the world
 
The book encourages curiosity, empathy, and confidence while reminding readers that independence grows through awareness, patience, and practice.
