Lonna Baum looks beyond Freddy’s disability and demonstrates his abilities and worth as a friend.” - Deborah Sedore, P.T. for 45 years, Lead Physical Therapist (ret.), Walk the Line Recovery Therapy

“Understanding that ALL children are different creates respect for and the celebration of diversity. Lonna Baum’s engaging, amusing and profound book draws the reader into her lovable characters and enlightens and instructs parents, teachers and children alike about the critical importance of identifying and working with every child’s unique strengths and challenges.”  - Robert J.
