What They're Saying
Critics Review
Angela Amos has written this book from the heart. The straightforward language describes in an authentic way what Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is, and how it may impact different members of a family, including the person diagnosed with this degenerative disease. It is a poignant story that will speak to both parents and children about feelings that are sometimes difficult to acknowledge and explain and the delightful illustrations help with this too. – Dr. Lynne Souter-Anderson, Director of Bridging Creative Therapies Consultancy and author of ‘Touching Clay, Touching What? The Use of Clay in Therapy’ and ‘Making Meaning, Clay Therapy with Children and Adolescents’
