Kevin’s story belongs to the second group.
According to the story that has circulated for decades, Kevin weighed an astonishing 7 kilograms at birth, making him an extraordinarily large newborn. Photographs of the baby quickly attracted attention, and what began as a remarkable family moment gradually became a story shared far beyond the walls of his home.
Newspapers and magazines helped spread the image. Years later, the internet gave the story an entirely new life.
People who had never met Kevin knew one unusual fact about him.
They knew the number.
Seven kilograms.
But there was something the photographs could never show.
They couldn’t show the little boy growing up.
