Hannah Ensor started her stickmen stories to take her mind off her disability.

Now the Didcot maths tutor is selling the quirky tales and has written two books for children.

Miss Ensor, 29, of Marsh Lane, created the books Biscuit Baking and Welly Walks to help children aged two to five become more familiar with people in wheelchairs.

Last month, the books were launched at Willowcroft Community School in Didcot, with swimmer Fran Williamson, six-time Paralympic medal winner.

Miss Ensor has used a wheelchair for the past six years after suffering hypermobility syndrome, a tissue disorder meaning her joints sometimes slip out of place. She also has a heart condition.

She said: “When I put my hand up in class as a child sometimes I would dislocate my shoulder so I’ve been physically unusual for a long time, but I was diagnosed with the conditions much more recently.

“I first started the stickmen stories to take my mind off my health problems.

“Since I started writing them in 2009 I’ve sold about 600 copies and these latest books for children are a way of saying that life can still be fun, even if you are disabled.”

Miss Ensor, a former pupil at Didcot Girls’ School, teaches maths at the school on a part-time basis.

With the latest books, which cost £5.99 each, £1 from the sale of each book is donated to the Whizz-Kidz charity which helps disabled children get the wheelchairs that they need.

The books are available from Miss Ensor’s website – stickmencommunications.co.uk – and local independent bookshops, or from Waterstone’s and WH Smith’s websites.
