Critic Reviews

"What a fabulous book that captures what can sometimes be a 'difficult' subject for children. The book ex- plains through easy storytelling and amazing illustrations which help children to understand that others can be 'different' and still be your friend. Loved it and can't wait for the next one!"- Dianne Baker & everyone at IDS Services CIC; "The explanations and pictures in the book will help children and parents and carers to understand the meaning of cerebral palsy and not be scared to ask questions." - Jenny Wilmott - Mum to twin boys with CP; "This book does a great job of representing the variety of symptoms that comes with having CP. It is great for teaching about the condition as everyone's CP is unique to them."- Anna Woodray - Person with CP
