BY RHONA XYEP I'M CRYING AGAIN..but this time happy tears I thought I was launching a colouring book. I didn’t realise I was beginning a journey. A few days ago, Molly & Friends existed only as a file on my phone. Today, thanks to Jimmy from Big Print Small Print, I held the first physical copy in my hands. And yes - I cried. Because this started with one simple thought: why couldn’t I find a colouring book that looked like Molly’s world? A world with children who have Down syndrome. Children using wheelchairs, white canes, communication pictures, ear defenders and sensory supports. Children who sometimes need a quiet space. Not separated. Not treated as unusual. Simply included. Now children are colouring it. Parents are sending me photographs. Schools and preschools are using it - and this little idea is starting to feel much bigger than I ever imagined. So I’ve decided to see how far I can take it. Physical books. Schools. Crèches. Hotels. Restaurants. Family venues. Special-needs organisations. International downloads. Sponsorship. And I’m putting it out into the universe: I would absolutely love to see Molly & Friends on the Late Late Toy Show. I don’t know how I’ll achieve half of it - but I’m bringing you along for the whole journey. The downloadable version of Molly & Friends is available to buy now on my website. You can download it instantly and print it at home - just follow the link in my bio. Please also help me reach the right people. Tag a school, crèche, hotel, restaurant, family venue, special-needs organisation, business owner, sponsor and even the Toy Show - or anyone who believes that every child deserves to feel seen. Jimmy, thank you. You didn’t just print a book. You helped me hold the beginning of something that could become incredibly special. Let’s see how far one little idea inspired by Molly can go. @The Late Late Show @Late Late Toy Show @Late late toy show #inclusionmatters #downsyndrome #everybodybelongs #inclusive #autism
