Book Reviews of What's Wrong with Timmy?
Book Review: ALL CHILDREN ARE NOT ALIKE, BUT ALL CHILDREN ARE SPECIAL!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an excellent book aimed at helping young children understand that others may be different in one way or another, but each person is special in their own way. "What's Wrong with Timmy" is based on a boy who has special mental needs. As a counsellor, I dislike labeling people in a manner that implies one is "mentally disabled or challenged", etc. for we are all disabled and challenged at doing one thing or another in our lives. I know several individuals who have special physical and/or mental needs; however, those same people are highly gifted in areas that most of us could not begin to master to such a high degree (music, painting, sketching, etc.)In this book, a mother explains to her eight year old daughter, why a boy in the park looks and behaves in a manner that is different from other children. The words are well chosen and the beautiful writing style is filled with kindness, compassion and understanding. The book teaches children a valuable lesson that says it is okay to be different but we are all deserving of love, respect and acceptance. This book is highly recommended reading material and most deserving of a five star rating. If you have not read the author's previous book, "What's Heaven", which is written for children on the subject of death and losing someone close, this is also an excellent book with a beautiful message. Hats off to Maria Shriver for writing such sensitive and valuable books.
