“As a mother, and advocate for, special needs children, I highly recommend this book as a learning tool for others. I gave my child a voice, as this author is doing for his, and I applaud him for it.” – Chynna Laird, author of I’m Not Weird, I Have Sensory Processing Disorder and Not Just Spirited

“Engaging and lighthearted, My Brother is Special captures what children with cerebral palsy and their families may experience. The characters are loveable and entertaining. Chidren will enjoy this book and relate to their experiences” – Jill Osborne, EDS, LPC, CPC, RPTS, author of Sam Feels Better Now

Oh my goodness. This is the cutest and sweetest little book ever and I wish I would have gotten the book format instead of the ebook format. It is such a wonderful book that I will definitely be sharing with my kids.

The book is super cute and rhymes throughout.

The book is about a brother who has cerebal palsy, but I think the book fits perfectly for any sibling who is different from the other. In fact, it is a perfect book for my kids. My middle child has ADHD, anxiety, and Oppositional Defiance Disorder so while it clearly is not CP; the book is still fitting – each sibling is different, but they are still brothers and sometimes, the big brother just needs to be the big brother.

I adore this book and really think it is an a great, easy read for kids!

About the author, Murray Stenton
From an early age, Murray was artistic. His favorite pastime was and still is doodling cute and fun little characters. As Murray entered the working world he utilized his natural creative talent in his graphic design profession. Illustrating being his true love, Murray started looking for freelance illustration work. Murray had no idea that answering a Kijiji ad would help his long time ambitions come to life. A well-known children’s book author and disability advocate, Jewel Kats gave him a shot at illustrating one of her children’s books. That experience gave Murray the courage to pursue other illustration contracts. Murray had an instant connection to Jewel, through the world of physical disability. Murray’s oldest son Ethan had a stroke at birth causing CP and other life altering conditions. With his new found courage and through the help of Victor R. Volkman and Loving Healing Press Murray brings this wonderful story to children everywhere. Murray’s hope is those siblings of children with disabilities will know they too are not alone.
