Book excerpt: This lively and accessible book provides a take on life from the perspective of a child who has no sight and no speech and who uses a wheelchair because of physical disabilities. The book offers a glimpse into the thoughts of such a child, recognizing that family and support workers sometimes get things right and sometimes don't, enables people new to disability work to avoid pitfalls and take short cuts in becoming interesting and useful to a child with complex needs and examines the puzzling behaviour often encountered when working with children who are dependent on others for the ordinary aspects of daily life.
