Mark Whyte and Katie Whyte are husband and wife team who have collaborated to bring together this moving and touching story.  They both have some experience of the problems disabled people face and it is there understanding really comes across.This book shows us that disabled people are much like the rest of us. In fact like using a wheelchair they can develop skills and talents that many of us never achieve. There are many real life disabled people out there like the Can Do Crew who have gone on to achieve outstanding things.The illustrations in this book are beautiful and tell the story so well. They complement the story and bring the story alive.On the down side I wish Marcus had not been so cut off from his old friends, although the reality is that sometimes this is what happens in real life.This story though has the capability to inspire everyone whether they are able bodied or disabled. We all have something about us that we feel holds us back in some way or other.  This shows us that every person has something special about them and has something to offer the world.
