Review:
This book is based on a real family having to deal with a an autistic boy. in the book we meet a little girl who has to deal with her autistic brother and the struggles they have to face in everyday life. This books shows you how hard it is for the autistic child as well as his family. but what the author manages to get into the book is the amount of love they have for him. Iv seen reviews were people say it is a must read for familys with autistic children but I think its a must read for everyone. I think it might help open peoples eyes and make them see how hard it is for people with disability's,as well as there family. I sat down and read this book with my children, one is a little to young to understand the meaning behind the book but the other one came out with some geat comments and we were able to go into more detail about autism and I think he now has a better understanding of the condition. A really great book.
