My feelings on having a sibling with a Disability

A parent would reach for this book when they notice their typically developing child struggling with the unique emotional weight of having a sibling with special needs. It serves as a gentle bridge for families where one child requires significant extra attention, leaving the other feeling a mix of fierce loyalty and quiet resentment. The book addresses the complex reality that love and frustration often exist at the same time. Written for children aged 4 to 8, this story validates the full spectrum of a sibling's experience: the pride in their brother or sister's milestones, the embarrassment that can arise in public, and the loneliness of feeling overlooked. It provides a vocabulary for big feelings, helping parents reassure their child that their needs and emotions are just as important as their sibling's. This is a practical tool for starting honest, healing conversations within the home.
