Synopsis: This story, written by the parent of a child with Dyspraxia and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), paves the way for parents, teachers and medical professionals to discuss these specific learning difficulties with children (aged around 7-9).
Unlike most other books on the subject, this book has been written from a child's perspective: enabling young people to ask questions of the story in a non-threatening way and encouraging them to discover how it relates to them.
This book can be shared with children having special needs, their family, or their classmates.
As with all of its books, the publisher aims to help people know they are not alone with what makes them different. If a young person or adult can relate to a story, it gives them hope and encourages them to share their concerns. The publisher aims to provide free teaching resources for all of its books that can be used in schools, to help improve understanding and celebrate differences.
Review: This is a wonderful look at the life of a child with dyspraxia and sensory processing disorder, as well as the impact it has on the family, particularly a sibling. It is also a great tool for explaining to children in the target age group about these learning difficulties. It is poignant for adult readers who realize that it is a true story about a real family.
Rating: Five stars
