Clouds and Clocks (Softcover)

Soiling (encopresis) is not uncommon in preschool and school-age children. But it is a problem that is seldom written—or even talked—about. This leaves children and their families feeling isolated, frustrated, and embarrassed.

By describing how one little boy, Andrew, solves his problem of soiling with the help of his doctors, this story reassures children and their families that they are not alone and offers solutions they may not have yet considered. It deals with this sometimes difficult subject matter-of-factly and with warmth and compassion.
