This is a wonderful book. We received it as a gift, and my daughter asks me to read it quite often. It is a sensitive, but not saccharine, story about a brother who has a younger special needs sibling. It covers the older brother's disappointment when his birthday party is ruined because the younger brother is in the hospital. It talks about the parents being overly protective of the younger sibling, but the older brother just wants to play with him. It really covers so much more, and all of it is right on the mark. If you have kids who are special needs and siblings who are not (in this age range -- our kids are 6 and 4), it is a must read. This book really hits the mark without being too heavy handed. The illustrations are nicely done as well. Highly recommended.
