About this ebook
This is a story about what can happen to a man when he does not keep himself clean. People do not need to be able to read in order to understand the story. In the book we follow George's daily life - at home, at work, on the bus and in the pub. George likes being with people and does not understand why they seem to avoid him. He often feels lonely and unhappy, and sometime feels unwell.
George's life changes when he is helped to be clean and to wear appropriate clothes. Not only is he happy about the way he now looks and feels, but his work-mates and friends want to be with him. George enjoys their company, and no longer feels so isolated.
One of the Books Beyond Words series
Professor the Baroness Hollins and her team have spent many years working with people who find pictures easier to understand than words, and have learnt a lot about what is important to them. Books Beyond Words are the result of careful development with the help of the people who read the books, and with family, supporters and professional experts.
