Book Reviews
I today had the pleasure of reading the most wonderful story about Leo and the Floppy Sloth.
I would really love to use this as part of the induction training I deliver for all staff - the book illustrates the importance of looking at a child or young person, and not a diagnosis whilst highlighting beautifully the significance of making every moment count. Homecare worker, Aberdeen Hospital.
Thanks for sending us a copy of the new book – it is lovely and fab that it is written by a parent, so we know she fully gets life with Pompe!
I think it would be best used for us for families of well-established Pompe families perhaps as the children turn eight or so, and want to know more about their condition, or want to know other people have it too. Clinical Nurse Specialist, Great Ormond Street Hospital, London.
