Description
Throughout November and December, UWE Bristol Library is hosting Disability History Month book giveaways, to raise awareness about disability history, issues surrounding stigma, and people's experiences of living with a disability.
We'll be hiding the giveaway books around our campuses, and we'll be posting location clues on our Instagram Stories. If you find a book, it's yours to keep.
This book giveaway features A Boy Made of Blocks by Keith Stuart. Delve into the world of a father who is on a journey to deeply understand his son, Sam, who is disabled. This is a jovial and uplifting story of love and family.
