Quinn’s not happy about all the fuss her mum and Alex are making about the new baby. She’s sick of their excitement. She likes things the way they are: just the three of them, and Disco, her lop-eared rabbit. She doesn’t want a baby brother. And she definitely doesn’t want to share her bedroom with him.
But when Otto is born three months early things change more than anyone could have expected. Quinn meets her little brother in the hospital neonatal intensive care unit surrounded by tubes and beeping machines. And she becomes the best big sister any baby brother could have.
My Brother Otto is a story about family, love and sadness that delves into an experience of heartbreaking loss with sensitivity, warmth and the comfort that memories can hold.
