Being the brother or sister of a child with special needs has special challenges. And Becca has some great ideas for dealing with them—after she accepts that she can't send her brother Jonathan to another planet!
In this helpful book based on the experiences of a real-life family, Becca discusses finding the right kind of friends, getting quality time with parents, caring about a special needs sibling without becoming another parent, and much more. Told with both humor and honesty, Becca's story—and her kid-tested solutions—are an inspiration to special families everywhere.
