Beautiful Lives

Send us Fan Mail It's a real honour today to welcome Stephen Unwin to Bedside Reading. Stephen is a theatre director by trade. He's also a brilliant writer. We're here today to talk about his phenomenal book, *Beautiful Lives, How We Got Learning Disabilities So Wrong*, which is an incredibly accessible, brilliant page-turner of a book, which runs through some of the history of how society have seen, judged, and categorised people. It's about othering. It's about ableism. It's a real call to action for all of us to think about the way that we do things and the way that we see people And the fact that everybody must be human first and not labelled, categorised and pushed into a corner somewhere. It is an utterly, utterly brilliant book. And I have absolutely loved talking to Stephen about it today.
