Summary
Callie is very proud of her brother Charlie. He's good at so many things--swimming, playing the piano, running fast. And Charlie has a special way with animals, especially their dog, Harriett. But sometimes Charlie gets very quiet. His words get locked inside him, and he seems far away. Then, when Callie and Charlie start to play, Charlie is back to laughing, holding hands, having fun. Charlie is like any other boy--and he has autism. In this story, told from a sister's point of view, we meet a family whose oldest son teaches them important lessons about togetherness, hope, tolerance, and love.

Excerpts
We’ve always been together—even in mommy’s tummy, my twin brother, Charlie and I.
We still share lots of things:
Curly hair and brown eyes.
How much we love hot chocolate with marshmallows.
Rolling in the grass.
