Many people can understand
pictures better than words. Books Beyond
Words (BBW) is a series of picture books that has been
developed to make communicating easier for these people, and to
enable discussion about difficult topics. Supporting text and
guidelines are also provided for carers, supporters and
professionals. The series is particularly useful for people with
learning (intellectual) difficulties.
BBW shortlisted for the
Diversity Award of the Independent
Publishing Awards 2010
"Royal College of Psychiatrists received a
place for its Books Beyond Words series, helping people
with reading, learning or mental health difficulties to deal with
emotions or events. Judges praised RCP’s strong production and
marketing. “There is plenty of evidence that these books are well
regarded and well used.”
