Just in time for Mother's Day, StoryCorps has released Q&A online. Q&A features Joshua Littman, a 12-year-old boy with Asperger’s syndrome, interviewing his mother, Sarah. Joshua’s unique questions and Sarah’s loving, unguarded answers reveal a beautiful relationship that reminds us of the best—and the most challenging—parts of being a mother.
The image above is one of the many concept art research from the Rauch Brothers film.
The Rauch brothers are producing five new cartoons for StoryCorps, which you can catch on the PBS documentary program POV in August and September.
This short is so wonderful and at so many levels, it's hard to find words to describe it. It brims with heart from the inside out, from idea to realisation. The Rauch brothers have some interesting behind the scenes posts on their website which will shed more light on the project.

Thanks for the great post, Alex! Glad you enjoyed it. People that are interested can also read an in-depth “making of” write up by Sarah, the mother featured in “Q&A”, on her blog.

My pleasure Mike, and thanks for the link, it’s very insightful to read it from the mother’s point of view.
