mum has a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. It creates an
opportunity to talk with children about the symptoms of MS as well
as other aspects of friendship like anxiety, competition, strengths
and weaknesses and talking to each other. It includes a question on
each page, eg, 'what do you like doing with your dad' and 'what
makes you feel sad' to help discussion about all aspects of living
with a relative with multiple sclerosis. It includes activity
pages, a relevant word search, spot the difference and drawing
pages that allow children to have fun as they talk about what is
happening in their lives. This book will be useful for families,
