Synopsis

`It is, quite simply, a wonderfully moving story` TES

I sometimes wonder if I would have loved Ben quite so much if Mum hadn`t shown me his feet first. She lifted up the edge of his coverlet, and I saw his tiny, perfect miniature toes, pink as shells, soft as petals. I hadn`t ever seen anything so beautiful in my whole life.

Anna adores her new baby brother. But when she tells her friends about him, Anna can`t quite bring herself to explain that he`s different. Ben is profoundly disabled - and he brings a joy to Anna`s life that changes it for ever...
