Heya Huma Hunna
by Nahla Ghandour
Age Range: 6-8
Heya Huma Hunna was included in the ‘Reading the Way’: Inclusive Books from Around the World Research (2015) and ‘Reading the Way 2’ projects. The book is not available in English but is referred to as She and the Others throughout the RtW Research projects. (Full report in the Education Zone of this website)
She and the Others is a two-chapter story featuring a character with a physical disability (depicted pictorially by the girl having a 'key' in place of one of her legs). OIW were delighted to include this unusual book in the project. Written by the author who is herself disabled, we felt it offered innovative symbolism and multiple visual messages to explore. With its highly original style of artwork and short text, it could be a particularly distinctive and thought-provoking picture book to share with older readers.
While on the surface, the book simply describes two brief moments from author’s own experiences as a child, in doing so it serves to highlight the immense physical and social barriers which face a disabled child at school – and could be seen as a wider metaphor for society’s attitude towards disability. OIW considers this a book which has vast amounts to offer in terms of discussing the social model of disability, particularly with older readers and adults. It might be a particularly valuable title to explore with young people in mainstream settings, something we were unable to do in-depth during this project. (see Case Study 5.4 of the main report)
Also available in a French edition Elle et less autres, translated from Arabic to French by Mathilde Chevre, Le port a jauni, 2012.
