This easy to follow book gives a child friendly explanation of CP which highlights how different the condition can appear for each person and holds a positive time without hiding from the challenges children (and adults) face. My son has mild CP and reading about characters who have it Tobias been really affirming and a good way to talk about types of CP, his specific symptoms without it feeling like yet another medical appointment.
Thank you!
