LEARNING RESOURCES
Written in collaboration with people living with sight loss, and focusing on the experiences of characters the same age as secondary students, A New Kind of Beautiful provides an opportunity for deep learning and exploration of love, loss, belonging, friendship, identity and acceptance, disability and ableism, art and beauty, family relationships, and grief and resilience making it perfect for study in English classrooms.
Our highly detailed Teachers Notes will be available from 1 August 2026. They will link to English, Humanities and Social Sciences. Students will engage in critical and creative thinking, and personal and social capability will be enriched through learning to work with others on the projects suggested in the Notes. Teachers Notes will be available for download from the Walker Books website. Suzy Zail is also available for school visits and Q&As. She can also partner with Guide Dogs in your State to offer an immersive experience about the power of storytelling while a co-presenter – a person with low vision – sheds insight into the lived experience of sight loss. She can be contacted here. |
