Historia5 out of 5 stars 2
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 of the family’s hard-won experiences, this book offers invaluable advice on raising confident, empathetic, and resilient children who succeed, not despite but because of their differences.

A meaningful story about embracing differences
Revisado: 04-14-23
I love how Meg intertwines her personal experiences with those of other families, to illustrate how our differences are beautiful. By being vulnerable and honest about herself, Meg invites the reader to better understand her family’s story and challenges.
As a bereaved parent of a child with complex medical needs, I appreciate the message to be honest about differences and embrace the struggles, to become more empowered. By doing so, you are setting your child up for a life of success and inclusion.
Children have daily opportunities to learn and grow through their differences, and Meg talks about the importance to refine and talk about this in the home. I love the situational role playing method as a powerful tool to anticipate difficult interactions. It’s also comforting to know that “pity parties” are inevitable and expected, so let them happen with grace and, move on.
This is a wonderful, thought-provoking read. I wish we would have had this book years ago when we felt so isolated. Though our child is no longer with us, we can still apply important lessons, including self love and empathy, in our relationships. We are so thankful for this book.
