It’s frustrating, it’s tiring and it’s boring. I want that box to be broken open!’—Mojo Mathers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Out of the Box, an illustrated book for readers aged 12+, author Trish Harris shares the stories of 25 Deaf and disabled New Zealanders – artists, activists and adventurers – who have broken open the box and claimed their space. ‘They’ve put a flag in the ground, as in the drawing on the cover,’ writes Harris. ‘They’ve said, “I’m doing life my way” and “this is what I need, in order to be who I am”.’\u003cbr\u003eThe second half of the book provides a detailed timeline of significant Deaf and disability milestones in Aotearoa New Zealand, from the 1840s to the present day. This little-known history anchors the stories in the events and attitudes of their time, and enables readers to see how political decisions and social\u003cbr\u003eprogress have a real impact on people’s lives.\u003cbr\u003eThe 25 New Zealanders profiled include people who swim, cycle, act, protest, make films and music, write books, perform live comedy, ski, dance, make laws, teach, travel, invent things and more.\u003cbr\u003eThe short, engaging stories in Out of the Box celebrate both big achievements and everyday life. It shows that many of the mountains disabled people face are created by society – and that those\u003cbr\u003emountains can be moved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Cheryl Anton • Rodney Bell • Juliana Carvalho • Ernest Chitty • Paul Curry\u003cbr\u003e• Jared Flitcroft • Adam Hall • Geneva Hakaraia-Tino • Libby Hunsdale\u003cbr\u003e• Julie Leibrich • Sir Robert Martin • Mojo Mathers • Don McKenzie\u003cbr\u003e• Chanelle Moriah • Tupou Neiufi • Dame Sophie Pascoe • Pip Patston\u003cbr\u003e• Alison Riseborough • Eve Rimmer • Sir Charles Skerrett • Patrick Wikiriwhi Thompson\u003cbr\u003e• Maia Marshall-Amai • Fonot?
