Red Sky in the Morning
Red Sky in the Morning

Heartfelt exploration of sibling love and disability.

"Red Sky in the Morning" is more than just a story; it's an experience that tenderly unfolds the complexities and pure moments found in the bond between siblings, especially when challenged by disability. Elizabeth Laird doesn't just pull at your heartstrings; she masterfully portrays love in its most innocent and powerful form. This book offers a mirror into the realities of a family adapting to difference, and a lens through which love is refined to its most potent essence.

  • Carnegie Medal Nominee (1988)

Description

It is, quite simply, a wonderfully moving story. TES I sometimes wonder if I would have loved Ben quite so much if Mum hadn’t shown me his feet first. She lifted up the edge of his coverlet, and I saw his tiny, perfect miniature toes, pink as shells, soft as petals. I hadn’t ever seen anything so beautiful in my whole life. Anna adores her new baby brother. But when she tells her friends about him, Anna can’t quite bring herself to explain that he’s different. Ben is profoundly disabled - and he brings a joy to Anna’s life that changes it for ever...
