Hayley's Courage Linda M. Steiner

This book was written for parents and/or professionals to discuss what it feels like for a child to be different. Although the story focuses on a child with Sturge-Weber syndrome, any illness or physical or mental challenge may be substituted in the syndrome's place. The story transcends specific elements and focuses on a child's struggle to fit in. Children with cancer, diabetes, or learning disabilities all face a similar dilemma of wondering how to be accepted as part of their peer group.
