Abstract
Hazel Morgan wrote her first book, Through Pete's Eyes, about her son's early childhood. In this second book she makes no attempt to be his voice but tells us her own stories, as she remembers her son with love. He was born in 1977 and lived for 18 years. The family had the benefit of living in a tied bungalow in the grounds of a school where his father, Andy, was deputy head. Pete was communicative but did not use words; he could not write his own story in text. This is a book is written through a mother's eyes about how her family learnt to live alongside Down syndrome, and profound and multiple learning disabilities. It eloquently describes this experience, and how this experience helps the author to see the world differently. Through her we learn wisdom from Pete. His adventures became the fondly remembered adventures of the whole family, of his parents and of his brother, Philip.
