Fergus & Delilah
A story about friendships, differences and inclusion. There are so many fun, unique, special, different characters in the book for you to meet but Erin would like to introduce you to four of her favourites.
Delilah
Inquisitive, friendly, open
Delilah loves making new friends almost as much as she loves playing in the park. She never shies away from saying hello and trying something different.
Fergus
Energetic, funny, determined
Fergus loves digging, anything to do with trains and playing with his necklace. But most of all he loves spinning around the park with his friends.
Norm
Talkative, sincere, sporty
Norm is non-verbal and talks using Auslan, and does he ever like to talk. (Just ask his teachers, they can't get him to stop). The only time Norm does stop talking is if he is playing sport, every and any sport Norm loves.
Wesley
Generous, sneaky,
brave
Wesley doesn't mind getting up to a little bit of trouble. While he might lead you a stray he will also have your back. He is always the first one to share his lunch box if someone is in need.
