C Book Dept: The moving story of Brown's 13-year-old son, Walker, born with the genetic condition cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, has already taken the $25,000 Charles Taylor Prize for non-fiction and the $40,000 B.C. Book Prize, according to CBC. "If Walker is so insubstantial, why does he feel so important? What is he trying to show me?" Brown said, reading from the book. "All I really want to know is what goes on inside his off-shaped head, in his jumped-up heart. But every time I ask, he somehow persuades me to look into my own." Ian Brown's personal tale about life with his disabled son, The Boy in the Moon, has won the Trillium Book Award, Ontario's top prize for literary excellence. In an interview with 's The National earlier this year, Brown described his son as having a life of "huge challenges and small triumphs." As
