Manni and Reuben Coe

Manni Coe is the second of four brothers. He grew up in Yorkshire and Berkshire. He studied Latin American History & Culture at Edinburgh University which took him on adventures to South America before he finally settled in Spain. He now lives between Dorset and a tiny village in Andalusia called Archidona. He works as a private guide in Spain and around the world brother. do. you. love. me. is his first book Reuben Coe, who created all the illustrations in brother.do.you.love.me, has been interested in art since he was a baby. He has always drawn. But during lockdown, when his regular communication with the outside world was cut off, Reuben became an artist. Today he uses his illustrations to connect with people, creating art as part of his daily routine. Reuben loves experimenting with different media – ceramics, collage, watercolours, textiles – but his favourite medium will always be his treasured felt tip pens.

The story of brother.do.you.love.me is the compelling account of Reuben’s recovery and the extraordinary journey of repair which he undertook with his brother Manni, rediscovering the depths of their brotherhood, one gradual step at a time.
