What do you buy for a boy
with no arms or legs?
Carlitos has a little flap of skin attached to his left shoulder, and inside that flap is part of a bone and because of that bone, he can actually do stuff. For himself. With it, he can learn to hold a paintbrush, a pencil, a friend's hand. With advancing technology on his side, he will, as he grows older, learn to put all kinds of devices to good use.
