I'm Special, I'm Me

Milo is fed up. His friends say that he is too short to play being a pirate captain and not strong enough to be a lion.

But, says Milo's mum, how fantastic to be a look-out, climbing the ship's rigging, or a monkey, swinging through the trees.

Milo can be anything he wants to be... Ann Meek won the Search for a Story New Author Prize with this brilliant tale of how one boy turns rejection into triumph with the help of his imagination and a rather wonderful mum!

Her story will be an inspiration to children and parents everywhere.
