We love this book, it is full of a lot of information but explained in a way young kids and adults alike can understand. Our youngest has TSC and we are so pleased to see it featured here. Awareness means everything to the rare diseases families as it leads to inclusion, acceptance and better research and accomodations!

I think this came out excellent. Easy to read and engaging. I like how the book opens and closes--you gain a strong understanding (even for young readers) of rare diseases and close with a beautiful message. I can see this being a great read in classrooms on Rare Disease Day!
