5.0 out of 5 stars
should be required reading for parents and sibs,
By Marsha Melkonian (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Views from Our Shoes: Growing Up with a Brother or Sister with Special Needs (Paperback)
Children with special needs affect the whole family. The siblings of these special children are special, too. They have needs that are put aside for another time, by their families and by themselves. They usually grow up to be more mature and compassionate, but with some supressed emotions. They are mommy's helpers for life. They need to learn that they are not alone, and this book starts that journey for them.

This review is from: Views from Our Shoes: Growing Up with a Brother or Sister with Special Needs (Paperback)
This book shows exactly how I, as a sibling, feel. I loved that it was written by kids about their own personal experiences. What a great book.

This review is from: Views from Our Shoes: Growing Up with a Brother or Sister with Special Needs (Paperback)
This excellent book is a forum for children ranging in ages 4 through 18 to explore their feelings and describe their experiences living with a sibling who has physical and/or mental difficulties.One young girl describes her 24-year-old brother who is barely verbal and, in her words "is like a 4-year-old child." This young man loves clocks and can watch them indefintely and his sister describes her trips to clock shops so he can watch clocks. Another child describes providing skilled care for her older brother who is 12 and has a severe case of cerebral palsy. A brother and sister, in individual installments introduce readers to their sister who has Down Syndrome. A young boy tells of life with a sibling who has autism. These are but a few of the heartwarming, gut-wrenching real accounts involved in day-to-day contact with a sibling who has special needs. Each child brings a special brand of input to the table and readers will come away with a sense of empowerment and enrichment. This is an excellent book for families to bond over and explore issues with. It is also an extraordinary teaching tool. If nothing else, it will certainly raise the flag of acceptance. Please read this and share it with somebody.
