MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
Before reading this book, I had no idea what Tourette Syndrome was. Which, I feel makes this book even more important, because there are many people that are just like me! What Makes Me…Me is an adorable book written by the mom of a child that has Tourette Syndrome, and I respect this mom so much for making sure others are aware of this disorder that affects so many children. This is a sweet story that clearly explains Tourette Syndrome through the eyes of a child. And I like that in reading this book, I saw a child that, even though he may been different from other children in some ways, he fit in perfectly with children around him. I feel it is very important that children and adults need to be educated about Tourette Syndrome and other neurological disorders in order to help children cope and feel acceptable around others. I am all about teaching children that it’s ok to be unique and different and this book is a perfect example of that.
I love the colorful abd vibrant illustrations that so perfectly bring this story to life. QBN Studios does a wonderful job capturing the words on each page with the graphic to fit. I highly recommend this book to everyone. It would make perfect addition to any child’s library, as well as elementary school’s classrooms and libraries. Any Daycare would benefit from What Makes Me…Me as well. And I think Drs offices, Dentist offices and anywhere children may be would be an awesome place for this adorable book. This is one book you don’t want to miss.
