Spectacular You

A 32-page illustrated picture/comic book for young children which gently introduces us to the idea that whatever your race or gender and whichever challenges you face, you are indeed one of us; together we are sharing this fabulous life. Life was good as an only child but then a little sister came along and stole all the attention. Soon, however, the two siblings go on an imaginary adventure as the older brother tries to swap her for a bike or ball or even a box of bricks. They nearly had fun but on the second day they embarked on another adventure on Tilly their favorite pony and he tried to exchange her for a penguin or puppy or even a funny parrot. He is again unsuccessful and they almost, sort of had fun. On the third day they splish, splashed over the lake to the ice cream shop and this time they definitely had fun! He is asked to describe her to the people of all races and genders and those with disabilities that they encounter on their three-day escapade and discover that whilst looking at the world anew, life is more spectacular when we live it together. A funny story of love and acceptance.
