Two schoolchildren have helped create a new dyslexia-friendly children's book.
Orla and Penelope, pupils at King Edward VI Preparatory School (KES Prep), have played a role in helping to write Fur and Feathers Fight for the World.
The dyslexia-friendly book, in both font and page colour, is one of the first of its kind to involve dyslexic children in its creation.
Both Orla and Penelope, who have dyslexia, contributed their ideas and writing to the project with the support of Nicola from Forest 1st Tutoring, King Edward VI Preparatory School's visiting dyslexia tutor.

She said: "This book shows that every child can dream and share their ideas with the world.
"I am so proud of both Penelope and Orla for their enthusiasm, dedication and passion in putting together this book."
The pupils developed the characters and story using AI technology to capture and refine their ideas before editing them into a complete narrative.
Nicola arranged for the book to be professionally edited, illustrated and published.
Penelope also visited Indigo Printing in Southampton during the summer holidays.
She helped make creative decisions about the book's format, including paper choice, layout and finish.
The book launch was held at Waterstones in Romsey and attended by historian and broadcaster Dan Snow.
Illustrations were provided by Emma Watremetz, a freelance illustrator and recent graduate of Arts University Bournemouth.
KES Prep headmistress Rebecca Smith said: "We are immensely proud of Orla and Penelope.
"Their creativity, perseverance, and teamwork have helped bring this wonderful book to life while inspiring others to follow their own passions."
Following the half-term break, Orla and Penelope will present a whole-school assembly at King Edward VI Preparatory School.
Pupils will hear the story, learn about the book's creation, and have the chance to purchase a copy.
The book is available to order from Forest 1st Tutoring, with all profits donated to the school's charity.
