Coronation Street actress praises man for how he spent his inheritance

A Wirral man who lost his disabled sister in childhood has used his inheritance to create a picture book which champions people with disabilities.

Rob Martin, from Bebington, said he is “still affected” by the death of his teenage sister Pauline when he was just six, and he’s now used money inherited from his late mum Kath to publish his book ‘Joe and Dusty Save The World’.

The book, which is written entirely in rhyme, tells the tale of a young disabled boy called Joe, and his trusty sidekick and support dog, Dusty. The narrative follows an extra-terrestrial escapade and explores themes of kindness, fun and love.
