I am Michael Glare and this is my Life

Product details

An A4 Book of childhood memories as drawn and written by a Dad in memory of his son. A Life full of wonder and hope.

This book is dedicated to the memory of Michael Glare with stories of him growing up with his brother Steven at the start of the millennium in a Sussex village by the South Downs near the sea. From the day he was born to the day he left us, he lived a life full of fun and adventure. The book has 113 chapters, with over 400 individual illustrations hand-drawn by me, his dad, in pencil, watercolour and acrylic from original photos, ideas and sketches, and printed in full colour. Each chapter tells a little adventure from his life, from a close encounter with a billy goat to being chased by a scarecrow over the Sussex Downs, all lovingly told with text and pictures. He made friends with a hedgehog, had lunch with some robots and saved a small spider. A little angel you must be thinking, but unfortunately he wasn't always like that when he was growing up, but he did try, well some of the time, just not very hard sometimes. This book has all the little stories that I remember and believe me there are a lot of them and I think they will make you smile and maybe a few tears here and there. 

This is the story of Michael, our amazing son who never gave up on life.

All profits from the sale of his book will be given to the Edith Cavell Nursing Trust, which supports UK nurses facing hardship, in recognition of the help given to Michael, who never gave up in his long hard four years in hospital.
