"This is a book that has long been awaited! [It] can be highly recommended to families, support groups, professionals and libraries."(School Social Work Journal) "Good writing for children is relatively ageless and it is a tribute to the authors that most grown-ups would find it tolerable, even pleasurable, to read.
