Born extraordinary : empowering children with differences and disabilities / Meg Zucker.
Meg Zucker was born with one finger on each hand, shortened forearms, and one toe on each misshapen foot, caused by a genetic condition called ectrodactyly. She would eventually pass this condition on to her two sons, and, along with her husband, raise them and their adopted daughter, who has her own invisible differences. Born Extraordinary offers invaluable advice--based on the family's hard-won experiences--on raising confident, empathetic, and resilient children who succeed, not despite but because of their differences. Also incorporating the stories of other families with visible and invisible differences of all kinds, this book gives parents the tools to empower their children to confront others' assumptions, grow in confidence, and encourage dialogue around difference. -- Provided by publisher.
