Produktbeschreibung

Different, Yet Like Me: DARLA is book one of a series about people with differences. It is based on a true story and the setting is the Arizona desert. Darla finds her best friend and has a carefree childhood until she loses a leg to cancer. Her journey is difficult, going through chemotherapy and looking different after her amputation, but Darla is brave. Despite her disability, she goes out to have fun with help from her friend and sweet little support dog, a teacup poodle. Getting a new decorated prosthetic leg helps her get back to her old life. She loves being with her friends again, who were at first nervous to be with her. She is able to do almost all the things she enjoys. To celebrate her health, she goes on a fantastic trip to the Grand Canyon! As children read about some of the things Darla goes through during her illness they may become more comfortable around children with different looks. They may be more open and kind in talking with people who have differences. Perhaps some children with differences will become more comfortable going out and start feeling more free to do the things they like.

Autorenporträt

Mary Salz grew up in the arid Southwest among cacti, mountains, and stunning red rocks. She now lives in the Midwest amid green trees, deer, and her two delightful children. She credits her mother and Darla for inspiring her active volunteer life. Hosting the school snakes for a summer was her most "Am I out of my mind?" yet fun experience. She loves dancing to almost any kind of music!
