Born with cerebral palsy, nine-year-old Sally has spent the past five years at a special rehabilitation school. Her dreams of actually living with her family rather than just visiting them finally come true when a new school opens near her family’s home. Adjusting to her new life and the typical challenges of starting a new school and meeting new friends are heightened for Sally, through the unique problems of being handicapped in the world. Mine for Keeps is a heartfelt and inspirational story about overcoming fears and considering other people’s points of view. A compelling read, this popular children’s story imparts valuable lifelong lessons about the nature of change, friendship and family.

Before going on vacation to Italy, my mom brought me to the book store. I love dogs, so she picked this one up. I didn't think much of it at first, but it became one of those books that you can't put down! Excellent job Jean! smilies/smiley.gif smilies/wink.gif smilies/cheesy.gif smilies/cool.gif smilies/tongue.gif

The book mine for keeps is an amazing story for anyone but it is even better for some one who has a sibling with special needs. Some times it takes fiction to explain what is happening to your sibling

Jean came to my school when I was younger, and my mom picked up this book for me. I got it signed and everything. I read it a couple years later, and loved it. It's a really nice, cute book. (: Jean Little is an amazing author! smilies/cheesy.gif
