Bookroo's summary

A young boy eagerly awaits his baby sister's arrival, only to face unexpected challenges when she is born with a disability. As he navigates his feelings of disappointment, he embarks on a journey of acceptance and discovers the true meaning of love. Can he embrace her uniqueness and find the beauty in imperfection? This touching tale, rich with natural imagery, opens a heartfelt dialogue about disability and acceptance, promising to resonate deeply with readers.

From the publisher

Perfect is a story of anticipation, disappointment, acceptance, and, ultimately, love. Suffused with natural imagery, Perfect is an ideal way to open up the subject of disability with children, as well as being a great story in its own right. This beautifully illustrated, truly remarkable book is guaranteed to bring a lump to the throat.
