    A very inspiring read. It was thought provoking, humorous and heartfelt. Had me laughing and feeling pensive in equal measures. Well written. Highly recommend.

    I bought the book after seeing Gavin on Tik Tok. I have never come in contact really with anyone with a disability and i wanted to learn and understand what life can be like from a less able bodied persons point if view. It certainly opened my eyes to some misconceptions I had. Thank you for the great book.

    This is such a beautiful book with a wonderful story! My little girl has a rare genetic disorder and I love to read both my children books that show the world is made of all different kinds of people and that’s what makes us so beautiful. Thank you Gavin, for proving that disabilities aren’t barriers but the things that make us unique and brilliant.
