The Happy Little Humbug
The creative imaginations of a Mother and Daughter duo have produced a heart warming tale of friendship, that has been beautifully illustrated to bring the story to life.
Summer, who is 7, was born with Trisomy 9 Mosaicism, a very rare chromosome disorder. There is not much known about this condition, as only around 200 worldwide are known to have it. Summer has Global Development Delay and finds it difficult to concentrate. Reading a bedtime story was becoming difficult so we decided to make up our own stories.
We came up with a fictional character called the Little Humbug who lives in the garden. Summer helped to design him, insisting he wears a floppy hat and a red bow tie! Of course there had to be a rainbow on the front cover too!
The story is brought together by the Little Humbug's garden friends, helping him to hum his tune again. Children will love the bright illustrations and the garden characters singing their tune.
We are donating a number of these books to local SEN schools and hospitals in the Bournemouth area.
