Here it is!
I can’t recommend it highly enough.
In fact, Outlook is an amazing series. Extraordinary people telling extraordinary stories.
The Michael Rosen one is really good

I heard the two brothers being interviewed on The World Service overnight a few weeks ago.

It was absolutely beautiful and so emotional.

It actually reminded me of some of the things that my husband and I went through during the Covid years, when my husband was very ill, both physically and mentally.
It seemed to last longer for us than many.

I will see if I can find a link to the program.
It is called Outlook.

Not yet...I heard about this book before Christmas. Sounds heartbreaking.

‘Reuben and Manni’s story resonated with me more than anything I’ve ever read. The love between siblings where one has a LD is ferocious but also has complexities which are so brilliantly articulated in Brother. Do. You.Love. Me. This is a story of our times so beautifully told and illustrated by Reubs and Manni. Deeply touching and a joy to read.’
Jo Whiley, BBC

has anyone read this ?
