Forgetful Frankie, The World's Greatest Rock Skipper, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
While FASD has been receiving increased attention lately, very little has been done to see life through the eyes of children afflicted by FASD. This heartwarming account of a child with FASD is important book for children with FASD, as well as for children in general. While we live in a society that endorses the motto - everyone is special in his own way - in real life-children with FASD often see the cruellest side of our society. This book is an important first testament of the child's view, and I am sure it will help children with FASD and their parents in their journey. --Gideon Koren MD, FRCPC, Professor and Director, Motherisk Program, Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto, The Ivey Chair in Molecular Toxicology, The University of Western OntarioForgetful Frankie helps to teach children to be tolerant and understanding of those who are different and those who are affected by FASD. The story lets an affected child know they're not alone. I can only hope that this book will help everyone understand and support the children affected by this disorder and thus, find more than just toleration in their inter-actions with people with FASD. --Alwyne Morris, Member of the Order of Canada, 1984 Olympic Gold and Bronze medalist
