Can't Jonathan go live somewhere else? I hear Mars is nice... Being the brother or sister of a child with special needs has special challenges. And Becca has some great ideas for dealing with them -- after she accepts that she can't send her brother Jonathan to another planet! In this helpful book based on the experiences of a real-life family, Becca discusses finding the right kind of friends, getting quality time with parents, caring about a special needs sibling without becoming another parent, and much more. Told with both humor and honesty, Becca's story--and her kid-tested solutions -- are an inspiration to special families everywhere. From the Introduction: When kids have a sibling with any of these special needs, they face more difficult challenges everyday. Fore example, parents usually have to give more of their time and energy to a child with disabilities, while the "typical" siblings feel neglected. Sometimes kids feel they have to be another parent to their special needs sibling and can't be kid themselves.
