Mallko & Dad

A profound, thoughtful book about Down syndrome that at its heart is about what it means to truly love.

A diary, journal, and illustrated story all at the same time written by a father about his son, Mallko, who has Down Syndrome. This book, which was selected as the best book in the disability category by the Bologna Book Fair in 2016, comes as a call and a revelation.
