If you'd like an example of a book narrated by a child in his own words then you can't do better than Mark Haddon's [[The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time]] although it has to be said that Haddon's task was simplified by the narrator being a child with Asperger's Syndrome rather than a child with a sick parent. You might also enjoy Shanta Everington's [[Marilyn and Me]] where the heroine and narrator is a young woman with learning disability.
