SRP 2011 REVIEW: From the view of the main character: I've been in a wheel chair for most of my life. I can't speak or move. But words seem amazing! Their like snowflakes all different in their own ways. Yet I can only say a few sounds. I had no purpose in life, I couldn't even say I love you to my mom. Not until I started inclusion classes.

SRP 2010 REVIEWS (4): #1) A Story about a girl with cerebral palsy, and how her life changed when her family realized her ability to communicate using a computer. Amazing how she came out of her shell in the book. #2) Excellent insight to the brilliant mind of a child stricken with cerebral palsy. #3) This was a fantastic book and is now one of my favorites. I think that it shows that you should not judge a book by its cover and it made you think about how you should treat people with disabilaties. #4) This book was the best i read this summer! It was about a girl who has cerebral palsy, and she cant talk or move really so when she tries to say something she can only grunt and point. But her legs don't work and she can't hold anything in her hands for more than a few seconds. But for Christmas she get a translator.

This book was truly touching. Told a message will inspire kids forever.
