Silver is the Moon

In the debut episode of Silver is the Moon, author Jennifer Durrant speaks with Ellie Wallwork—the blind actor, voice artist, and disability advocate who narrates the audiobook. They discuss Ellie’s trailblazing career (from Doctor Who to Call the Midwife), her experience of blindness and developing confidence, and her process of narrating the true story of Josée, a blind French girl who defied expectations to aid the Resistance in World War II. Their conversation explores how, as we build confidence, each of us may be called to rise to a challenge, while offering families and educators ideas for teaching empathy, disability awareness, and history through story.
