Siblings
Brothers and sisters of children with special needs
www.wakefieldpress.com.au/books/siblings.html
Kate Strohm
The
siblings of children with special needs are often the forgotten
ones in families struggling to cope with the demands of
having a child with a disability or chronic illness. Kate
Strohm’s book Siblings finally gives these sisters
and brothers a voice. Kate, who has a sister with cerebral
palsy, bravely shares her own story, and the stories of
other siblings who struggle with their feelings of resentment,
guilt, grief and isolation. She also explores how these
difficulties can manifest in adulthood as depression, anxiety
and other psychological problems, and gives detailed strategies
for coping and coming to terms with these feelings.
‘Siblings is a book that should be read by anyone
coming into contact with a family that includes a child
with a disability, whether through their work or socially.’

The
Sick Bug
http://thesickbug.com/index.php
Susie Bazil, Shawn McCann
 In
this delightful and amusing story, little Tess doesn't feel
well. When her Mom says she has ''a bug,'' Tess becomes
concerned, believing that she may have an actual insect
inside her body. Mom goes on to clarify that Tess's type
of bug is a ''sick bug,'' and she gives fun and imaginative
descriptions of the creatures, explains how they affect
a little one's body, and, most importantly, advises how
to get rid of them.
This
is a timeless story that will appeal to children and adults
alike. The clever rhyming dialogue between a mother and
daughter captures a child's wide-eyed innocence and endless
imagination, as well as the patience and empathy of a parent
comforting a sick one. The Sick Bug is a whimsical tale
complete with vivid and captivating illustrations that bring
the ''sick bugs'' and their bug world to life. At the same
time, it leaves readers with a simple but true message for
how to get better. Sure to bring a smile even when under
the weather!
