Brother do you love me

£10.99

Reuben was living in a home providing care for adults with learning disabilities. For over a year he had been non-verbal, unable to express his thoughts and feelings except on paper with felt-tip pens. ‘Brother do you love me’ is a dazzling story of hope, resilience and repair for our troubled times. It explores how far we’re capable of going for those we love, and asks how, individually and collectively, we can all take better care of each other.

SHORTLISTED FOR BOOK OF THE YEAR AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS

Reuben, aged 38, was living in a home for adults with learning disabilities and struggling to accept that he had Down’s syndrome. Depressed and in a fog of anti-depressants, he hadn’t spoken for over a year. Increasingly isolated, cut off from everyone and everything he loved, Reuben sent a text message: ‘brother. do. you. love. me.’

When Manni received this desperate message from his youngest brother, he knew everything had to change. Together they began an extraordinary journey of repair, rediscovering the depths of their brotherhood, one gradual step at a time.

Combining Manni’s tender words with Reuben’s compelling illustrations, their story of hope and resilience questions how we care for those closest to us and draws a moving portrait of brotherly love.
