The Brilliant Book is a British television show for children.
It follows Benjamin, a nine-year-old boy, who has autism, and charts his and his friends' adventures. The show comes in 30-minute episodes, each of which are "loosely based on a letter of the alphabet". It has animated segments and film clips of Benjamin and his friends; each day Benjamin adds an adventure to his "brilliant book".[1]
The show is created by Rhonda Merrick, a US native who lives in Britain; she also does the animations. The "Benjamin" of the show is her own son Benjamin.[2]
