Author
Sally Doherty, Illustrated by Sonny Fletcher, Prepared for publication by Collins Big Cat
In a world where those with M.E. are often disbelieved and overlooked, this story stemmed from Sally’s desire to introduce readers to this illness at an early age. Though Sally has to spend most of her time resting at home, Hercules – her wheelchair – is her noble steed on mini adventures further afield. She was keen to show ambulatory wheelchair-users exist, not least so she could stand up without feeling like a fraud. Best of all, being able to include a three-legged dog sidekick based on Sally’s own canine companion is the highlight of her career so far.Sonny was diagnosed with M.E in 2023, after years of not understanding the cause of their fatigue, and along with other disabilities they've had since childhood, the need for representation became more important. They believe giving non-disabled children the chance to see disability in a neutral or positive light can help combat bullying in childhood and prejudice in later life.
