Mommy, I Am Special and So Are You! (children's book)
“When I read it for the first time, I cried. I remember thinking how beautiful it was and how it really channeled the love that you have for Taki (and he for you). I loved that you gave Taki a voice to say what you knew he would. I am not a very religious person, but it was just so powerful that I couldn't help be moved by it...I feel like it can help different people understand different things. I feel like it's inspiring for parents to read, especially when they are having a frustrating time. I also think it's important for the individuals who work with children with autism to read. It gives a little window into the struggles facing the parents of our students.”

"Poetry about love and family. I bought it as a gift for my wife, thinking that the book was woman centered and that she would enjoy it. However, I picked it up and found it hard to put down. Thought provoking prose, but a pleasure and easy to read."

“I read a lot of spiritual and self-help type of books…I'm glad you provided me the opportunity to read this truly inspirational story…I'm sure couples, single parents and single women and men will be inspired and motivated by this book even if they have a child with autism or not. I can't begin to put myself in your shoes and realize how difficult this has been, but I'm sure you know that you are blessed and GOD does have masterful plan for you and your son. I don't have any kids and the story has motivated me to never give up and to trust in GOD so that I can be inspired by his grace.” Thank you so much! - Al
