"Intelligent, politically bold, and beautiful to browse [...] Every bookshelf needs a copy." — Disability Arts Online

In this stylishly illustrated biography anthology, meet 34 artists, thinkers, athletes and activists with disabilities, from past and present. From Frida Kahlo to Stephen Hawking, find out how these iconic figures have overcome obstacles, owned their differences and paved the way for others by making their bodies and minds work for them.

These short biographies tell the stories of people who have faced unique challenges which have not stopped them from becoming trailblazers, innovators, advocates and makers. Each person is a leading figure in their field, be it sport, science, maths, art, breakdance or the world of pop.

Challenge your preconceptions of disability and mental health with the eye-opening stories of these remarkable people:

Ludwig van Beethoven, Gustav Kirchoff, Henri Matisse, Eliza Suggs, Helen Keller,
Frida Kahlo, John Nash, Stephen Hawking, Temple Grandin, Stevie Wonder, Nabil Shaban, Terry Fox,
Peter Dinklage, Wanda Diaz Merced, Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, Dr Victor Pineda, Farida Bedwei, Stella Young, Lady Gaga, Arunima Sinha, Naoki Higashida, Isabella Spingmuhl Tejada, Aaron Philip, Catalina Devandas Aguilar, Redouan Ait Chitt, Jonas Jacobsson, Trischa Zorn, Ade Adepitan, and Dynamo.

As seen on ITV's Good Morning Britain: "This book is there to help us all, to encourage us to talk about how we’re all different [...] It’s a really, really lovely book, beautifully illustrated as well."— Presenters Ben Shephard & Ranvir Singh

Product description

Review

'This book is there to help us all, to encourage us to talk about how we’re all different [...] 'It’s a really, really lovely book, beautifully illustrated as well.' -- Ben Shepard & Ranvir Singh ― 'Good Morning Britain' ITV

'A richly illustrated compendium of activists, artists, thinkers and athletes with disabilities [..] Burnell's dreamy yet fiery tone infuses each biography with a sense of its subject's refusal to be held back by the expectations of others.' -- The Guardian

'An international and diverse selection of biographies profiling over 30 disabled artists, thinkers, athletes and activists.' -- Fiona Noble ― The Bookseller, July Previews

'I Am Not a Label is intelligent and politically bold at the same time as being beautiful to browse – every bookshelf needs a copy.’ -- Disability Arts Online

'An eye-opening, stylish and empowering collection of biographies profiling over 30 disabled creators, thinkers, activists and athletes.' -- LoveReading 4 Schools

'Be assured, this is [not] a book that simply says you can be a hero ‘despite’ being disabled. Crucially, this is a book that also recognises that you do not have to be a hero. [...] Fascinating, funny, informative, this is a much-needed anthology that breaks stereotypes and challenges assumptions.' -- BookTrust

'Exploring disability and difference through the biographies of these remarkable people makes children truly see that nothing is impossible if you try hard enough. Featuring a clear index, glossary and further reading section, this book has a place on every bookshelf.' -- Reading Zone

AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2020

This product description is factually incorrect. People in the book are not mentioned and the description alludes to people who get no mention at all. Amazon have completely falsely misrepresented this product, yet still refuse to offer a refund for the product. Do not be fooled into buying like I was, they’ve lied through the whole of the description. This carelessness and lack of care about customer satisfaction has cost them a Prime customer who spent hundreds of pounds each year. Shame. Don’t waste your time.
