Reviews
"This is a book that has long been awaited! [It] can be highly recommended to families, support groups, professionals and libraries." - School Social Work Journal"Good writing for children is relatively ageless and it is a tribute to the authors that most grown-ups would find it tolerable, even pleasurable, to read. The tone is marvelous; there is nothing patronizing about the style. This is a gem of a book." - JASH, "This is a book that has long been awaited!
