THE MOST AMAZING SATURDAY MORNING RUBBISH CLUB

An inspiring and heartfelt graphic novel about the lived experiences of children with special needs, in which three spirited kids pool the resources of their individual insights to clean up their local park―and restore some magic to their community along the way.

The Most Amazing Saturday Morning Rubbish Club is a creative collaboration between a writer and illustrator, both of whom have firsthand experience of parenting children with special needs, and therefore puts the lived experience of differently abled children at center stage.

Its inspirational storyline, appealing to both parents and children, tells how three very different kids with varying special needs come to share their own unique skills to achieve their goals. In an effort to defy the low expectations set for them by society and to improve public accessibility, these spirited characters meet in the park and unite to establish a litter-picking scheme.

Touching, funny, and beautiful, this unique collaboration is indeed . . . most amazing.
