Description

"Sensitively written and illustrated, this book assists parents in beginning to explore their feelings about having a child with special needs. Each chapter ends with a section titled, "Consider These Options," encouraging the reader to view concerns from different perspectives. Perske says that his book "...is not intended to bring you comfort. Its purpose is to help you grow and adjust so that you can accept, love and act creatively on behalf of your child." --From the Publisher
