Review
"The book outlines the symptoms, such as stooped posture and unsteadiness, and suggests ways adults and children can communicate better with patients" - The guardian, April 2005.
Product Description
Rasheda Ali, a tireless caregiver's advocate of Parkinson's Disease patients, has written a book for children and families. The purpose of the book is to address most commonly asked questions from children who may not understand why their loved ones with Parkinson's Disease behave in certain ways. Written for adults to read to children, the book encourages dialogue through the use of colourful illustrations, situations depicting symptoms, and interactive questions. Medical facts are provided at the end of each page to help readers answer children's questions with greater ease and specific terms are explained in the margin on each page. What makes this book different from other books on Parkinson's Disease is that first and foremost, it is not a textbook; it is a tool to enable children to understand what is wrong with their loved one with Parkinson's Disease. There is nothing in the marketplace quite like this book - it is the first of its kind - and the book will very likely become 'the' children's resource for information on Parkinson's Disease.
