  The heartwarming and hilarious part-memoir, part-guide from comedian and father-of-six Ashley Blaker, on parenting, adoption and raising children with special needs. 
  ‘A funny, irreverent and loving book’ Daily Express 
  ‘We had such a variety of experts visiting our home, we really needed a revolving door. All these professionals would watch our son playing while shaking their heads and making tutting sounds, like builders considering a bad job you wanted them to fix. “Tut tut tut. No speech, disordered social skills, sensory issues. This is going to cost you!!”’ 
  Ashley Blaker has six children, three of whom have an SEN diagnosis. Between endless meetings, countless therapists, public humiliations, failed playdates, surreal monologues and occasional violence, it’s certainly not what anyone would call a ‘normal’ household – but would he want it any other way? 
  Normal Schmormal is part-memoir, part how-to guide, highlighting the many challenges, as well as the hugely rewarding elements, of parenting children with additional needs. Written with humour, compassion and a lot of love, it’s a must-read for parents, carers and teachers of children with SEN, either looking for a bit of support or in need of a very big laugh. 
  In Normal Schmormal, Ashley Blaker, a father and comedian, takes us on a humorous and heartwarming journey through the challenges and rewards of raising children with special needs. This latest autobiography is a must-read for parents, carers, and teachers alike, offering a unique perspective on fatherhood, family, and fostering relationships with children with disabilities. 
  For fans of Eliza Fricker (Nurturing Your Autistic Young Person), Dr. Naomi Fisher (The Teenager's Guide to Burnout), Ellie Middleton (How to be You), Lisa C. Qualls (Faith, Hope, & Connection), and Catherine L. Abbott (Mindful Parenting for Autistic Children).

  Darkwater

  "Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil" is a book written by William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, an American sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, and writer. The book was first published in 1920 and is a collection of essays, poems, and sketches that reflect on the experiences of African Americans in the United States. 
  The title of the book, "Darkwater," refers to the "veil" that Du Bois believes separates African Americans from white Americans. This veil is a metaphor for the racial divide in American society and the ways in which black people are excluded from full participation in American life. 
  The essays in "Darkwater" cover a wide range of topics, including the history of slavery and the Jim Crow era, the role of religion in African American communities, the relationship between black people and the natural world, and the struggles of black women. The book also includes several personal essays in which Du Bois reflects on his own experiences as a black man in America. 
  "Darkwater" is considered a groundbreaking work in African American literature and is widely regarded as one of Du Bois's most important books. The themes and ideas explored in the book continue to be relevant today and have influenced generations of writers and activists.
