Review Quotes
"Are you a teacher or a parent looking for a resource to help foster understanding and acceptance of children with disabilities? We recommend My Friend Suhana, a lovely children's book written by a mother and daughter team. They have to be congratulated not only on their wonderful book but also for their eye-catching and informative web site."
--Lorna d'Entremont, Special Needs Book Review
"My Friend Suhana tells the story of a young girl who forms a close bond with another young girl with cerebral palsy, mirroring an encounter that the author's daughter, Aanyah Abdullah, had experienced while volunteering with her mother. Along with providing easy-to-understand
information about cerebral palsy for a younger audience, My Friend Suhana emphasizes that communication and friendship can occur in non-traditional ways."
