He's My Brother

This picture book for young children shows us Jamie, a boy with an “invisible handicap,” from the point of view of his loving older brother. Jamie is not retarded, but his uneven development and growth confuse him and those around him. He is slow to learn, physically clumsy, and often teased at school. He has many lovable characteristics, but also some annoying behaviors. This book helps the reader sympathize with Jamie and might help kids with similar difficulties feel not so alone.
