Summary: A Must Have for Siblings of Special Needs Kids
Comment: This is a wonderful book. We received it as a gift, and my daughter asks me to read it quite often. It is a sensitive, but not saccharine, story about a brother who has a younger special needs sibling. It covers the older brother's disappointment when his birthday party is ruined because the younger brother is in the hospital. It talks about the parents being overly protective of the younger sibling, but the older brother just wants to play with him. It really covers so much more, and all of it is right on the mark. If you have kids who are special needs and siblings who are not (in this age range -- our kids are 6 and 4), it is a must read. This book really hits the mark without being too heavy handed. The illustrations are nicely done as well. Highly recommended.

Summary: Brotherly Love
Comment: When David first sees his newborn brother Matthew attached to a support system, he is initially shocked. Matthew's slow development requires him to remain in the hospital for an extended period of time.
David gives clarity, voice and reason for siblings of people with special needs. One can feel his sadness and resentment when his party is pre-empted because of his brother's vast needs; one cringes with him when Matthew unwittingly embarrasses him. David does not pretend all is sunshine and roses; despite his concern and resentment, there is the underlying brotherly love. He naturally feels protective of Matthew and in so doing, forms a bond with his brother that is truly heartwarming indeed.
This is an excellent book for families and educators. In fact, this book is really for everbody and is a good bonding as well as teaching tool. Readers of all ages will be able to relate to David's feelings and see how he and his brother flourish.

Summary: This was a very good book to read to my young son.
Comment: This book was a very good book about a child dealing with a brother with special needs. I read this to my 5 year old son and it helped him understand why mom and dad spent so much time trying to teach his brother things. It explains things like why they should feel special to have a brother/sister with special needs. I thought this was a very good book and would recomend it to anyone who wants to read it to a young brother/sister.
