The Twins

Huge Surprise

Something Must Be Wrong

The Different One

A Reason to Be Special

The reason for David's different skin color is a genetic mutation called albinism. It is a condition in which the skin and hair lack pigmentation due to a congenital absence of melanin. But what David has is a bit more uncommon...
