Red Sky in the Morning

From award-winning and beloved children's author Elizabeth Laird comes a stunning edition of Red Sky in the Morning which draws on her own experiences in this beautiful and honest portrayal of disability.

Anna loves him with her whole heart, but she finds herself unable to admit the truth of Ben's condition to her school friends. Eventually the truth gets out and leads not to the ridicule Anna expected, but to sympathy and understanding. An emotional and wonderfully written story by Elizabeth Laird, Red Sky in the Morning was Highly Commended for the Carnegie Medal.
