Easy to read. Suited to the age group 8+ which is just what we needed

Very honest accounts of how it is for siblings. Very natural writing - great having the tips that siblings can use. Loved this - very real and practical.

This would be extremely useful for family/whanau, staff, and new families. Useful for understanding the full effect having a child with a disability can have on all members of the family.
