5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent book, July 6, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: I'm the Big Sister Now (Library Binding)
I bought this book to explain my son's severe CP to my daughter. She is only 3, so much younger than the recommended age. However, the text is pretty simple to understand. But...the illustrations are excellent. The little girl in the book really looks like she has CP and they don't really sugar coat things. I like that because it's relates to my daughter's real world (as opposed to idealizing the CP child). Also, the book talks about good things and bad things so it has an evenhanded treatment.

All in all, I think this is a great book for explaining severe CP to siblings and others.
