Overview

Nick could not be more excited to have been invited to the cinema with his two new friend, but the nerves of hanging out with new people is starting to kick in too. Between the excitement and the nerves, Nick forgets to take his wallet with him. This is not the way he planned to make his first impression with his new friends. The Forgotten Wallet is the second book in a series of multi-level, symbol supported stories aimed specifically at teenagers and young people with autism and learning difficulties. City Kicks books offer a unique opportunity for students of all levels to access the same stories, through the use of multi-level story telling and the incorporation of Widgit (c) symbols. City Kicks books allow young people who read traditional text, emergent readers and young people who don't currently read text to access the stories. City Kicks is a series bridging the gap for books and materials that are available to teenagers and young people with special needs.

Nathan is able to fuse both his knowledge of the digital field and work as a teaching assistant to create diverse and thought out visuals for books. Nathan takes into consideration the specific needs of the young people when it comes to the design process. He considers how colours, light and even shapes can play a vital role when telling a story to a specific audience through illustrations.
