"Useful for helping kids with serious or chronic health conditions build the confidence they need to speak up for themselves." —Kirkus Reviews“The lesson on self-advocacy, whether surrounding medical issues, or any tough situation, is a valuable one for this age group. This title could be helpful for fostering conversations with children about sticking up for themselves; it’s also a reminder to adults to pay attention.” —School Library Journal
