Becoming a Person - inspirational story


Potton & Burton published this biography in 2014 and it was such an amazing story.
To see his recent success is wonderful. Here’s a couple of news stories that ran last week..
 
Becoming a Person is an often painful, but ultimately uplifting account of how an intellectually disabled New Zealander helped change the world. It challenges us to re-examine our notions of what it is to be human.
