The CD
Over the past 14 months, we have been working hard on putting together a compilation of songs taken from the movies which will compliment the event in Glasgow on 27th August 2009. Friends and family have come together (sober and away from the Karaoke machine) to sing their hearts out on this compilation CD.
The Book
Just Like You is a book aimed at young children to help them understand that disabilities, particularly Angelman Syndrome, do not make people any different. The book follows a young boy, questioning the things in life that “make a person special” he explains that like all children he has dreams and feelings , and that sometimes he can’t always express them.
