Review: "Angela Amos has written this book from the heart. The straightforward language describes in an authentic way what Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is, and how it may impact different members of a family, including the person diagnosed with this degenerative disease. It is a poignant story that will speak to both parents and children about feelings that are sometimes difficult to acknowledge and explain and the delightful illustrations help with this too." -- Dr. Lynne Souter-Anderson, Director of Bridging Creative Therapies Consultancy and author of 'Touching Clay, Touching What? The Use of Clay in Therapy' and 'Making Meaning, Clay Therapy with Children and Adolescents'
