Unforgettable Story

I read Karen & From Karen With Love when I was a young girl. I just fell in love with Karen and have never been able to forget her story. I have scoliosis and had polio, just a light case as a child and - to read a story about a girl that was around my age and managed just fine with her disability gave me reasons to hope when I felt low. I loved the way Marie wrote....I've looked for this book for years and now I've found it...I'll go back in time for a bit and say hello again to an old and dear friend. It's definitely worth your read. Anna

A great book for children!

If someone can get their hands on this Book, Wren, I highlyrecommend it for children and parents who have a sibling with cerebral palsy. It will teach young children that anyone with a disability can do anything if they have their mind set to it.Almost everyone I knew read Wren when I was growing up.I read it because it helped me understand my own cerebral palsy.Thanks

classic that is at once educational and delightful to read

"Wren" tells for children the inspiring story of Karen Killilea, the child who lived a miracle, and of her remarkable family. Beautifully illustrated, "Wren" invites the reader into the world of a child with cerebral palsy and, without ever preaching, opens the heart of a child reader before thst child has been afraid of those with disabilities. The humor and charm of the story will be much loved even in families without a special situation.

This is one of the best books I've ever read!

"Wren" is one of my favourite books. My other favourites are "Karen" and "With Love From Karen." I think Marie Killilea is one of the best authors ever!

Outstanding book on cerebral palsy for children

This is a wonderful way to introduce children to cerebral palsy. Written by the mother of a child with CP, the story is told from the point of view of the big sister. Learn how Marie views the arrival of her sister and her feelings about her sister's challenges. Especially good for children dealing with a sibling's diagnosis.
