‘I wanted to show the main character, Jack, as the loving, friendly and helpful boy that he is.’ – Gabrielle Bassett.

Jack’s Best Day Ever! celebrates a joyous, unconditional friendship between Jack and Poh as they, each with their own neurodiversity and disability, triumph with bravery and simply enjoy the fun times they have together. Taking us on a sensory adventure through school, a party and the Zoo, author Gabrielle Bassett shares her playful and courageous characters that mean so much to her personally, with the vibrant and inclusive illustrations by Annabelle Hale. Let’s celebrate Jack – he is a real champion!
