'This book insists, quietly and powerfully, that they be seen. Not as burdens. Not as tragedies. Not as the recipients of our pity or our inspiration. But as Kallan, who draws Transformers with obsessive precision and wears a shark fin at the aquarium and roars like a wolf in Battersea Park. As Mekhye, who was not supposed to survive childhood and is now twenty-two, defying every prognosis ever written about him. As Maria, who has six fingers and uses them to flash the heavy metal sign at the beach, sunglasses on, entirely unbothered.' - Clarissa Ward'…the real surprise comes from the power of the work as a collaboration. The creativity that a shared mission has unlocked for everyone involved is remarkable. There is poetry, art, photography and above all there is love.' - Fiona Shields
