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.

This bright, colourful book has been kindly written, illustrated and printed at no cost to Angels without Voices in order to support their fundraising efforts for ASSERT. This means that 100% of the money raised from the sale of this book will go to helping the hundreds of families influenced by AS in the UK.

Our deepest thanks go to Guy Fee, Sheena McMurtrie, 999 Design Glasgow Office and MLG Glasgow for all the great work in helping make this book a reality and something that many families will cherish in their children’s book collection.

About

My name is Fiona and I am organising this event to raise awareness and much needed funds a charity very close to my heart. My nephew Sam was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome (AS) at the age of 2. AS is not a disease, it is a neurological disorder that causes severe learning difficulties, and although those affected have a normal life expectancy, they will require looking after throughout their lives.

Now at 8 years old, Sam is the most special member of our family.
