★★★★★

My daughter was diagnosed last month and I felt like I was drowning in medical terms I couldn't pronounce. This book talked to ME, not at a textbook. Chapter 1 alone made me cry — in a good way — because someone finally explained what 'non-syndromic' meant without making me feel stupid for asking. It's honest without being terrifying, and the daily-life chapter helped me tell my parents what to expect. I've already gifted two copies to our family. Truly the hand we needed.
