5.0 out of 5 stars First experience with dwarfism, June 19, 2001
This review is from: Dwarfism: The Family & Professional Guide (Paperback)
as a new mother of a child with achronplasia, the information was invaluable for myself, my family and our family doctor.the information in the book took alot of the fear out of having a child with achronplasia. The reflections by the parents were very helpful. And today nearly four years later I feel just like many of them.
