Description
Some days are tough, some days are fine,
And sometimes days are just sublime!
Welcome to a family like other, where life is full of ups and downs, picnics and swimming lessons, tickles and tantrums, board games and laughter.
Universal, celebratory and quietly revolutionary, this is an uplifting picture book about family, love and living with disability. Written from parent to child and inspired by the author's own family, it is a joyful story of love and family life.
**A reassuring read for children with a disability, and the message of familial love will encourage empathy in all readers - The Bookseller**

This is a lovely picture book about what it is to be a family and to love and care for other people, even when things are tough. The book acknowledges that all people have different abilities and that something one person finds easy may not be the same for someone else. More importantly, it recognises that this isn't a problem or something to be fixed, we just are all different and it's accepting each other for whoever we are that matters.
The illustrations are also lovely and humorous, without trivialising the subject. This is a really lovely book and one that I will be recommending to our SENDCO at school.
