Niketan and Biblionef have launched an audiobook version of the story “My Name is Runa”, the true story of a girl named Runa who lives in Bangladesh and has cerebral palsy.
The audiobook is available in Dutch, English and Bengali. As Runa said: “Hello, I am Runa. I have Cerebral Palsy and I live in Bangladesh. Because I walk and talk with difficulty, everyone calls me “an idiot”! Now I play the lead role in a storybook, in which I tell everyone what it is like to have a disability and to be teased. My story has a surprising end. I hope it helps to raise awareness about how it feels to grow up with a disability”.
