Barbara Catchpole taught for over forty years before becoming a full time writer. Her interest in special needs education and disability issues was first sparked by her middle son, who was born profoundly deaf. Barbara has taught as a Special Needs Coordinator and has held leadership positions in several schools, including Academies. She has also worked as SENCo in a secure training centre. Barbara writes primarily for reluctant and struggling readers, with the aim of entertaining the reader and developing empathy for the characters. Pig is her finest example to date.

Pig thinks you should have a few days off school every week, if you want to, say just two or three days each week. What do you think? So Pig and Raj decide to skive off school, to watch a TV programme being made in the High Street. They had a great day, and even got to meet the TV presenter. Will their perfect day have a perfect ending?
