Stories for Brothers and Sisters: 12 Short Children Aged 6-10 Who Have a Sibling with Disability or Special Needs

Somebody wrote a book for the other child. When one child in a family has a disability, the brother or sister often becomes the easy one. The quiet one. The one who doesn't ask for much, because they can see there isn't much left to ask for. They're sometimes called glass children - not because they're fragile, but because people look straight through them. >Twelve short stories about children aged six to ten who have a brother or sister with a disability. Nadia, who is very, very good at being quiet. Sam, who has started walking two steps behind his sister in the supermarket, and hates himself for it. Children who love their sibling enormously and sometimes wish, just for one day, that things were ordinary - and who have never told anyone the second part. These stories don't tidy that away. They say: both of those things are true at once, and you are not a bad person for feeling them.
