A wonderful little book, a story of unconditional love, acceptance and the realities of parenting a child with a disability. This is written in short segments that all connect to one another in fascinating ways. This book also examines art and how, for example, a beautiful, well-designed building may fool us into thinking that what is inside the building must be good as well. A brief read, but a powerful one.

Really unusual book - difficult to classify. Written by the father of a child born with cerebral palsy, it relates the causes of his son's (Tito) condition and their journey through his childhood via Italian Renaissance architect Pietro Lombardi, Abbott & Costello and Assasin's Creed II to name but a few. I can guarantee it won't be the book you're expecting.

I was hoping that this was more about his son and how the father dealt with the information that the hospital caused the Cerebral Palsy. To me it was more of an art history book. The information was interesting, just not what I was looking for in this book.
