Children will love Red Sky In The Morning because of the many chords it will strike. Its powerful statement calling for the inclusion of the disabled will appeal to their fledgling sense of justice and its candour will win them over. Young people can spot a fake from a mile away. I think adults should read it too - any parent struggling with an "impossible" adolescent might gain some insight, might even remember how it was for them. Laird has a way of sifting through the compromises and alighting upon simple truths that many adults will find incredibly refreshing and even comforting. For everyone, it's a sensitive study of family stresses and responsibilities.
Those under ten may find the emotional landscape unfamiliar unless they have some specific experience of disability, in which case they will recognise it all too well. All those aged ten and over will take something very valuable from reading this book. Adults will appreciate [[The Way Back to Us by Kay Langdale]].
