Catherine Bruton is an award-winning author of stories for young people, including the multi-award winning No Ballet Shoes in Syria. She also teach English and Drama and sees first hand the way that books can open young readers minds and help them see the world through other people's eyes. This story was inspired by - and written in collaboration with - one of her pupils, Hester Poole. Like Morven in the story, Hester is registered blind, but she has never let that
hold her back. She recently raised £30,000 for Mekele Blind School in Ethiopia, earning her a nomination for the Bond International Development Award. She is also a talented singer, actor and
athlete. Having recently won a Bronze Medal at the European Paralympic Ski Championships, she hopes to compete in the next Winter Paralympics. Hester is passionate about the importance of diverse representation in literature, and the need for more stories that present visual impairment. And her passion inspired Catherine to write 'Spelling Bea'.
