Love is the most possible bridge to the silent world. It is the only thing that can bee seen by the blind, spoken by the dumb, and heard by the deaf. Isn't it? Brenda is not a deaf dog, she is the perfect dog who happens to be deaf.Hamza Balolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785549212972582125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4231991658935513946.post-59456506449927001012012-09-22T09:50:43.466-07:002012-09-22T09:50:43.466-07:00Thank you, Liam and Hamza.Thank you, Liam and Hamza.Janet Ann Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234310280477491538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4231991658935513946.post-16334302295598831382012-09-22T07:54:25.004-07:002012-09-22T07:54:25.004-07:00Congratulations Lori on a "humanity" sto...Congratulations Lori on a "humanity" story that deserves great success.

When I wrote the book, first as a poem, my daughter was only 18 months. I had no idea that as she grew she would go through a phase of being self-conscious of being different, of having a scar and bump. But now, she enjoys telling her story. At only the age of 6, she has learned so much about accepting her own challenges, accepting others' differences and being courageous.

It's vital for kids to understand differences, especially health and disability challenges. Understanding is the first step in accepting such differences. You never know when health issues or disability will become a part of your life.
