She told this paper: “I think that if we can help children who are suffering from a young age, it will help them as they grow up and they can develop an understanding that it’s something they can deal with.”
The story follows George, who is bullied at school and faces his own health challenges, but goes on an adventure which teaches him that he is stronger than he once thought.
Charlie’s twin 15-year-old sons are autistic, and she said the boys have experienced their own adversity.
