-- Joan Latham’s latest book, Lest One Be Left Behind, tells the powerful story of a young girl’s struggle with bullying and the importance of empathy, resilience, and support from those around her. Now available in bookstores worldwide, Latham’s novel addresses the challenges children with disabilities face and the impact of having a supportive community.

The book is set in Livermore, California, where a young girl with cerebral palsy faces bullying at school. Struggling to be seen for her abilities, she confronts both prejudice from her classmates and the challenge of gaining the recognition she deserves from her teachers. Despite these obstacles, she learns to rise above them with the encouragement of her family, teachers, and friends who believe in her potential.
Lest One Be Left Behind draws from Latham’s personal experiences as an educator. Having worked extensively with children facing learning difficulties, Latham brings authenticity to the narrative, portraying the real-world challenges faced by those with disabilities. Her background in early childhood education and special education is evident in the way she handles sensitive topics like bullying and acceptance.
“I wanted to create a story that shows how important it is to have people around you who believe in your potential, no matter the challenges,” Latham said. “Empathy and support can help children rise above their circumstances.”
The book has received positive reviews for its honest portrayal of the struggles children face. Readers on platforms like Amazon and Barnes & Noble have praised the book for being both relatable and inspiring. One reader, Mogul, noted that Latham “masterfully addresses themes of perseverance, acceptance, and the power of supportive relationships.” Another reader, AM, appreciated the illustrations, calling them a “beautiful complement to the story” and adding that the book’s “well-developed characters” left a lasting impression.
Latham’s work not only highlights the difficulties children with disabilities endure but also shows how these experiences can lead to growth and empowerment. Through the protagonist’s journey, readers learn that with the right support, children can overcome the challenges they face and realize their true potential.
