‘We need the literature of other countries to expand our
horizons and stimulate our ideas. Without it, we are not only
diminished, we are starved’

E non e
by Marco Berrettoni Carrara
Age Range: 6-8
È non è was included in the ‘Reading the Way’: Inclusive Books from Around the World Research (2015). The book is not available in English but is referred to as Sara’s World throughout the RtW Research. (Full report in the Education Zone of this website)
Sara doesn’t relate to other people or her surroundings and her behaviour is disconcerting for everybody, especially her family. Sara's form of disability isn't specified and the reader is only presented with the narrator's viewpoint of his sister. The story is carried by powerful illustrations, a mix of collage and pencil, which bring the narration to life.
OIW considered Sara's World to be a sophisticated book in terms of both the artwork and text, although there were some concerns about the depiction of the disabled character. There are also some positives to be drawn from this book, such as the fact that it recognises the unpredictability of some forms of disability.
