Publisher Description: A storybook about special needs siblings to engage the whole family
"When you are a sibling of a child with special needs, especially one whose life can be dictated by sensory issues from their environment, you often learn to "live in the moment." In this validating family book, Mia's feelings are explored. Often siblings have to sacrifice or alter their day because of the needs of their brother or sister --whether it be leaving a fun activity to go to therapy or dealing with a meltdown that affects the whole family. Don't Rush Me explores these situations in a way that teaches siblings that their way-too-familiar rollercoaster of feelings is normal and that they are not alone in them." |
