Summary of Book:
This is a great book. It introduces what cerebral palsy is as Michelle describes her life with her sister Amy who has cerebral palsy. It is a sweet book that is completely nonfiction from Michelle's 9 year old point of view. In a classroom, I would use this book to read to students if there was someone in the class with cerebral palsy. It would help explain to them what it is and how lives are affected by it. It is also a great book to recommend to parents that have a child with cerebral palsy and a child that is healthy. Children relate a lot through books.
