Colours in Her Hands is a tender, luminous novel about art, family, and seeing the world through different eyes. Mina, a woman with Down Syndrome, communicates through thread and fabric. Her embroidery captures emotions she can’t always put into words. Mina’s art forces those around her to reconsider what it means to create, to care, and to truly see one another. Alice Zorn’s Colours in Her Hands celebrates the power of expression beyond language.
