Anthony and Wheeliam’s Street was officially launched with a special event at Eccles Library.
Family, friends and members of the local community joined us for the first interactive reading of the book, along with crafts, conversation and book signings.
As with all Better Places sessions, the launch included plenty of chanting, movement and learning — helping children explore accessibility, disability and how we can create places that work better for everyone.
It’s always a privilege to talk about accessibility and disability awareness in a way that feels engaging, fun and interactive. While the topic can sometimes feel heavy, learning about it doesn’t have to be.
This launch marks the beginning of the journey for Anthony and Wheeliam’s Street. If Nicky and Candy’s Street is anything to go by, there are plenty of exciting conversations and visits ahead.
A big thank you to everyone who came along, to Salford Libraries for hosting, and to those supporting from afar as part of the ongoing Better Places journey.
If you’d like to support Better Places and take a look at the newest book in the series, Anthony and Wheeliam’s Street focused on accessibility for wheelchair users, you can purchase a copy for yourself, a loved one or for donation to a school here.
