Join Jemima on her adventures as an extraordinary guide dog!

My Name is Jemima introduces a lovable Labrador with a very important job. Though Jem enjoys playing with her favourite yellow bone and getting lots of cuddles, her most important role is guiding her handler safely through the world.

With warmth and humour, children learn about the invaluable role of guide dogs like Jemima while discovering her fun-loving yet dedicated nature. Olivia Muscat, a blind disability activist and guide dog user, shares this authentic story in collaboration with award-winning illustrator Allison Colpoys, whose distinctive, colourful style adds vibrancy to every page.

Ideal for:

In the Classroom: A wonderful story to introduce children to concepts of disability awareness and inclusion in an engaging, accessible way.

For Families: Perfect for family reading, blending humour and warmth while encouraging empathy and understanding.

Young Dog Lovers: A delightful tale for children who love animals, showcasing the funny and inspiring adventures of a guide dog.

The book includes a QR code for an audio version narrated by Olivia Muscat herself. My Name is Jemima is a joyful story that educates, entertains, and fosters understanding, offering readers of all ages a glimpse into the unique collaboration between guide dogs and their handlers.
