In reply to Faye Stein. I wish I did, Faye but sadly, no. This area in children's books is still very underrepresented. If I find a title in the future, I will email it to you.

Your books for children on disabilities are wonderful.
Do you have a book on Dystonia …..movement disorder?
My six year old grandson has Dystonia of his left arm and left foot. Medication controls his muscle
spasms, but stress, tiredness, anxiety are triggers that override the medication and then his foot drags, and his arm goes into a spasm similar to cerebral palsy
Thank you.

In reply to Cheryl Millar. There is a middle grade book for kids who are 9 to 12 called Braced by Alyson Gerber. Let me reach out to the author to see if she knows about a picture book. Two is pretty young for a book on this but I'll search around.

Amazing range of books!
Do you by any chance have one for a child in a body cast for scoliosis? Something to help my 2 1/2 yr old grandson understand whats about to happen to him?
If not, does anyone know of a book on this subject please?? Thank you.
