Reuben, aged 38, was living in a home for adults with learning disabilities and still struggling to accept that he had Down syndrome. 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. Combining Manni's tender words with Reuben's powerful illustrations, their story of hope and resilience questions how we care for those we love, and demands that, through troubled times, we learn how to take better care of each other.
