Taking its title from the wordplay of a child who has cerebral palsy, this book spotlights the world of disability - a world that tends to be secret, a source of stigma, shame and disgrace. The subtle and sensitive photography of Angela Buckland records her journey through this world from when she first suspected that her son was disabled to her decision to record the experiences of seven families with disabled children. This is not a book of easy answers, yet it provides families and healthcare professionals with a compassionate, understanding and inspiring guide to ordinary people's real experiences.
