Heartwarming, educational, and inspiring. Just a few of the words I’d use to review this book.
Special Adventures with my little brother holds a special place in my heart, not just because it’s about my boys, or because I live it every day. Because it’s a symbol for others going through the same thing that tells them “you can do this, you’re going to be just fine”
What Annie Beckett has done is take very emotional and complex facets of daily life with a differently abled son, and presented it from the perspective of his brother. It is a loving and wonderful look inside Thomas’ daily activities and challenges he faces with both intellectual and physical delays. There is a section on each page for the parents to help guide them through various pieces of adaptive equipment.
Please take the time to read this book to your children, it will show them that no matter what this world throws at you, the love that exists between siblings will shine through and overcome every obstacle.
