About this title

Synopsis

Born in Canada, Micheal J. Fox became one of the most familiar faces in America through television and film. Yet when a twitch in his left pinky led to a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, Fox suddenly encountered a challenge to an unstoppable career. In Michael J. Fox: I Can Make A Difference!, readers will learn how Fox continued his career while raising public awareness of Parkinson's disease. Full-color photographs, timeline, and a compelling biographical narrative will engage readers as they follow Fox through his many triumphs.

Reviews

Grade 2-5–Both of these titles introduce individuals who have overcome serious physical handicaps and succeeded in reaching their goals. The print is fairly large, and each page has a color photo, but the books are short on facts. Students researching Michael J. Fox or Parkinson's disease will find little basic information and certainly not any insight into the person himself. Jean Driscoll is a young woman who was born with spina bifida. She has had many accidents and surgeries, and is confined to a wheelchair. She has excelled at sports, including winning the Boston Marathon eight times. While the people themselves could generate interest, the language in the books is dry and static and the photos look like stock prints.–Susan Lissim, Dwight School, New York City
