Caitlin is an 11-year-old girl on the autism spectrum
After a mass shooting takes her brother away, she is alone with her grieving father and a cacophony of children at school
She struggles to understand empathy, what facial expressions mean and why a drawing might have more than one color
We see the world from Caitlin’s point of view
We struggle as she does but also take comfort in the times when she finds a friend, draws a multicolored mockingbird and can finally cry for her brother
