The sequel to "We'll Paint the Octopus Red" (Woodbine, 1998) follows the relationship between three-year-old Isaac, who has Down syndrome, and his older sister, Emma, who is frustrated by his slow language and motor development. His family tries to teach him sign language because he does not yet have the skills required for speech. It is a sibling story of acceptance, understanding and celebrating success.
