Product Description
These beautifully illustrated and fun-to-read storybooks simplify and normalize complicated childhood conditions, like arthritis. When read aloud, other children can identify why a peer may be treated differently and begin to empathize with them. In addition, children whose conditions set them apart as being different begin to feel accepted and safe. Each book includes a Kids' Quiz to reinforce new information and Ten Tips for Teachers to provide additional facts and ideas for teacher use. In Taking Arthritis to School, Eric's story helps other children realize that, despite arthritis, he is just like other kids.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 1 review)

Serious stuff made understandable and heart warming

Miller has taken a painful condition (Juvenile Rheumatoid Athritis) and written a beautiful children's book that not only explains and educates what the condition is all about, makes the reader see what her son has experienced during his life; coping the best he could with this condition.Triumphant!
The story is well written as well as entertaining, too. And the information in the back of the book is well researched and thorough. Excellent!
