Found a copy in Vinnies

I actually bought this book because I was talking to someone who highly recommended it and so when I saw it in an op shop, grabbed it. So very worth the while to do so. As someone who has enjoyed seeing his beaming smile as he paints his guests on tv, it was quite enlightening to read about his story, his parents story, and well - respect. I have noticed that tis often the ones who have gone through hardships that have the best of smiles and truly know how to appreciate life and what they have.
