About this title

Synopsis

"The book blew me away. I couldn’t put it down. It will help parents know that they are not alone. You give parents hope and at the same time give them the tools to help their other child." – Pat G.

"This is a beautiful, creative book that deals with an important but neglected topic." - Dr. Howard Margolis, Professor Emeritus, Reading Disabilities & Special Education ,CUNY; co-author, Reading Disabilities: Beating the Odds

"This book is really good! Wish I had this when my daughter was younger!" - Florence, parent of Autistic Child

"I just finished reading your book. I really think you hit it right on the mark! My granddaughter attends a special school in Berwyn for children with Autism. If they do not already have a copy of the book for their resource room, I will purchase another book for the school." - ECH- grandmother of an Autistic child

"This book can make a huge difference for the families of the Autistic or developmentally challenged child. This book is written for the 'normal' child/sibling in the family. This is the member of the family that suffers silently and has no way to advocate their personal struggle with something they have little control over. The book is constructed in a delightful and sensitive manner in both words and pictures. The professionals who have seen the book all reply in a powerful and positive way. This book will make a difference!" - Ronee Groff, Advocate for the Disabled, 40 years

"What a wonderful and insightful book. I will be using it in my pediatric offices. It provides essential information that parents of Autistic children need." - Dr. Howard Orel, Managing partner Advocare Pediatrics

"A most useful addition to the literature for professionals who wish to help families coping with an autistic child and the effect that child has on unaffected siblings, often the "invisible children" in the drama. With thoughtful text and charming illustrations, the book supports families and professionals alike." - Pat Dannenberg, Child Psychologist
