Produktbeschreibung
"Grandma said she's sick, but she looks fine to me. She has a disease called ALS that makes it hard for her muscles to work. My whole family is learning new ways to help her, but I miss how things used to be." Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a very challenging disease that affects all types of people: parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends. Of course, it also has an enormous impact on the children who love those who've been diagnosed with ALS. Children bring kisses, hugs, caregiving, and joy to those living with ALS, but at the same time, those children may be experiencing confusion, fear, and worry as they watch the person they love face a scary disease. And Love Speaks helps to navigate those difficult feelings and conversations, to help children understand that their loved one with ALS is the same person inside, and to maximize quality time together ensuring every moment counts.

Jamie L. Blair is a former teacher and librarian with a passion for children's literacy needs. With a USA Today Best-Selling series in her backlist, she knows good can be accomplished through books. And Love Speaks was written to help her own children understand their grandmother's ALS diagnosis, and by providing free copies to treatment centers and support groups across the United States, she hopes to benefit as many children and families as possible during their time of need. Proceeds from And Love Speaks goes back into the ALS community, providing more books and supporting ongoing research in hopes that someday, we'll have a cure.
