A Night In With Sinéad Burke
FANE Productions
“There are so many people in this world - 7.53 billion to be exact. But there is only one of me and one of you. It's easy to think we are not good enough, or that our nose is too big, or wish we could be more like our friends. But the world would be different without you. You are enough just as you are...”
Sinéad Burke is an advocate, teacher, and a British VogueContributing Editor. She also happens to be a little person at three and a half feet tall.
Sinéad is interested in making the world a more equitable place. As a disabled woman, she became aware of the lack of representation in television, museums, dolls, books and fashion. Now, using her own experience as a case study, Sinéad has written a book for young people: Break the Mould: How To Take Your Place In The World.
In conversation, and answering your questions, Sinéad offers a heartfelt and inspiring guide to young readers on believing in themselves and finding comfort and pride in their own skin. From the power of being different and discovering self-love, to inspiring children to use their voices to be an ally and show friendship to others, Sinéad will encourage your children to break the mould and find their place in the world.
This is a family event, for parents and their children, to realise that even though our bodies, thoughts and interests are different, there is so much that unites us and well, anything is possible.
‘A lovely lesson in humanity for eager young humans’ Chris O’Dowd
