Summary

"This is my brother. He can be cute; he can also be a little shit." Down's Bro.

It'll take just under two hours to listen to Steve Palmer's audiobook about his son, Stan and extended family. Stan has Down's Syndrome and Steve's book is an honest account of life with this "endearing, infuriating, loving and frustrating" boy. If you're a parent with a new diagnosis of Down's, this book's for you; when you're ready. Because it's warts-and-all; maybe you'll prefer it that way. There's also the memory of a night in Cardiff in 2002 from this Stoke City-supporting family. From school days to holidays, from cliches to relationships with siblings, Steve offers you family life - with a child with a learning disability - as it really is; hard work, worth it and at times, a bit of a laugh quite frankly.
