This companion booklet to "A Special Book About Me", is intended for siblings of children recently diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, and as such, will be extremely useful for families.. There are coping suggestions such as talking with a family member about feelings, keeping a diary, finding positive things to do that make one happy. There is even a certificate o fill in to prove that the reader is special too! This is an unusual and most useful approach to the problem of finding oneself with an AS sibling, and the black and white illustrations add to the emotional reading of the text. -- Healthy Books
