Great book! My sons were so intrigued by the different special needs and were so captivated by the illustrations. I gained some knowledge too! The alphabetical nature of this book kept them interested and each unique story highlights how an individual is so much more than just their condition. In particular, it was eye-opening to learn about conditions that may not be as visible, such as lupus. Thanks Natassia for such a gem of a book! Read more
