A GREAT BOOK by Kathryn  5 Stars
January 30, 2006
I am an older sibling of a child with a cleft and I found this book to be helpful in so many ways when re-searching what was going to be done to my baby brother. It used enough technical terms to explain what was going on, but it also explained things as well. I know that my mother would often read the chapter called Aiden; One child's story when she needed to find hope for her own son. I would recommend this book to everyone whether they are researching clefts or they have a family member who has a cleft. This is a wonderful book that was so extrememly helpful to both me and my family and well as other mom's I've talked to around the country.

Your kids aren't the only ones! Can I have some choices????  1 Stars
September 08, 2002
I found this book to have very basic information on cleft lip and palate, which was good in that it presents the conditions in non-medical terms for the most part. However, it did not explore some of the more current methods of treatment, including pre-surgical devices, and it seems to have been sponsored by a specific support group which is never really disclosed. I found the nauseating mention of this group over and over and over again to be quite an obvious overkill, and I had to return mine copy. I need a more objective book so that I may come to my own conclusions, and I suggest that other parents do the same.
