Age range 4 to 7 Colin's humorous predicament will appeal to all young children and their parents. Readers will be rewarded with a compelling story, plenty of pictures and drama to entertain, and the message that "difference" is simply a source of other gifts.
The finalists of the 2018 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards.
At first, Colin is dismayed by his differences - but eventually he learns just how valuable his quirks can be.
