My Island - The true story of a silent challenge

Hamish Rosie was born a healthy baby at his home on the windswept island of South Ronaldsay, off the north coast of Scotland but at only ten months old he contracted meningitis leaving him profoundly deaf.
This beautifully hard backed book tells his story in frank detail and is complemented by Hamish's illustrations inspired by a sentimental return to his Orkney island home.
