**A heartwarming and universal story of love, joy and living with disability**

Some days are tough, some days are fine,
And sometimes days are just sublime!

Welcome to a family like other, where life is full of ups and downs, picnics and swimming lessons, tickles and tantrums, board games and laughter.

Universal, celebratory and quietly revolutionary, this is an uplifting picture book about family, love and living with disability. Written from parent to child and inspired by the author's own family, it is a joyful story of love and family life.

**A reassuring read for children with a disability, and the message of familial love will encourage empathy in all readers - The Bookseller**

**A thought provoking reflection on life for a family with a child who has disabilities. Full of humour and honesty, the story holds the reader gently - Inis Magazine**
