fifteen compelling full-spread illustrations and with just 153 words, the
author captures the three most likely areas of life pain for children
with behavioral and emotional difficulties: being angry, being sad, and
being "different." Her book reassures both the child and the parent and
reminds us that the child's potentials can be realized and that life,
though stressful for a special-needs child, can be beautiful."—John F. Taylor, Ph.D., author, The Survival Guide for Kids with ADD or ADHD
"Any
parent with a child with learning differences can and will relate to
this book. A perfect portrayal of both the sadness and joy a child with
special needs brings to a family."—Susie Frank, Special Education teacher (ret.)
"An
honest look at the range of emotions involved in raising a challenging
child.... A very positive book for children and their parents."—Jamie Stack, Ed.S., School Psychologist
"A
first choice to read to children when they're having a bad day. It's
written and illustrated so sweetly and captures that tenderness at the
center of our relationships with children. Great book!"—M. Mills, parent
