When facing a life-challenging or even terminal illness, it s all about being normal. That s what kids and teens want for themselves and from the people around them. With wit, wisdom, and amazing courage, young people ages 7-21 tell in their own words what it s like to be ill while trying to live each minute of their daily lives. Their stories are honest, heartfelt, and thought-provoking; their advice is of value to anyone who knows, loves, or treats young people with illnesses or disabilities. Recommended for families, friends, classmates, and teachers of affected children and teens; for colleges that offer classes in disability studies; and for doctors and hospitals who want to share hope with their patients. A portion of the proceeds of the book will go to the Southeastern Community College Scholarship Foundation.
