The first thing that hit me about this book was the despair on the little girl's face, as she was in distress and could not tell her parents what was wrong. They looked just as much in shock and upset as they did not know how to cope. Through the book and the development of the girls� growth the author, along with brilliant illustrations, describe expertly the problems both of the parties are experiencing.
There has obviously been a lot of research on this particular medical condition and the effects on children and parents. As we move through the book the different actions of the child paint the characteristics to look out for, and where to seek help and guidance from, to help the parents understand and cope with the obvious difficult challenge they are facing. The introduction of a specialist trained in this particular field increases both the parents and child's knowledge and understanding on coping mechanisms to improve their relationship.
An excellent book describing a very difficult condition for parents and a children to cope with and should be shared to help other people who are not in the close social bubble of the family to help them understand and accept the child.
