5.0 out of 5 starsKIDS need to be prepared for the real WORLD.
By MASTERMAT on March 12, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Everyone should read this, then read it to their kids. There are still kids born with HIV. Latter as pre teens they will have to be taught about HIV and how not to get it. The highest infection rate is still 13- 34 yr olds.

5.0 out of 5 starsFaces and Hearts, Not Merely Numbers
By A Customer on April 8, 2000
Format: Hardcover
This collection of pictures, stories, and thoughts from children who have AIDS humanizes an inhuman experience. These children are the children in our lives,the same as all children. Their artworks and statements bring home the human aspects of this disease and help to remove the distance that fear and misunderstanding cause. I was first introduced to "Be a Friend "in a training session for teachers working with special populations. Since then I have given it as a gift to friends and coworkers and have used it extensively with my class of Youth in Custody students. It is a non-threatening approach to a subject about which they have many fears and misconceptions. Hearing the voices of children helps lower the barriers and open the dialogue which promotes learning and understanding. Similar in approach to " I Never Saw Another Butterfly " the stunning work by children of the Holcaust, this books makes the experience of AIDS very real and human. I recommend it highly to anyone who knows and loves a child.

A Kid's Review on August 13, 2006
Format: Hardcover
Unfortunately, while this book was great a few years ago, with the changes in HIV treatment, it is not something that I would use for that age group, as it implies hopelessness.

5.0 out of 5 starsHeart breaking, but a must read
By Billy F. Spillman on August 15, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I really amazing book. Most of the time you hear about Adults talking about living with Aids but rarely hear from the children with it and in there own words.
It's written by the kids, in there own hand writing and picture they drew.
Some are writing about Hopes and Dreams that they well get better, and a few of ones that seem to have lost the hope and are mostly just trying to learn how to accept it.
Some of the most Amazing ones, are the Children who seem to be more concerned about there Families well being other then there own.

a truly remarkable put together book. That everyone should have a copy of.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood for Kids
By Jill B on April 28, 2003
Format: Hardcover
This is a good book for any classroom. It shares how children are affected by HIV - how they are still children, but with great weights. I have used it many times, not just for children, but as an awareness tool for adults.
