Critic reviews

"My Friend Suhana is a delightful read for a children’s book. Very well illustrated with respect, friendship, and advocacy all in mind at the same time." (Dawn Cruzan, president, Camp Craig Allen for All Abilities)

"This is the story of a seven-year-old’s first attempt at unconditional love. Tough but tender, inspirational yet utterly real, this is a small gem of a tale. Highly recommended for anyone in the position of mentoring a beloved child through the hard places of life." (Paula Huston, author of A Season of Mystery and A Land Without Sin)

"My Friend Suhana is a charming and perceptive book that will draw its readers into empathy while allowing them to enjoy this heartwarming story of two uncommon friends." (Chitra Divakaruni, author of Grandma and the Great Gourd, from the Growing With Love series)

I got this audiobook via a promo code at my request and this is my voluntary review.

My nephew attends a school for children with special or complex needs and theres been some questions from my younger neices etc about children with medical conditions. I got this for my neice 9 years old, to help her see the benefits of her creativity and art projects for kids as she volunteers her time and encourages her brother to get more involved in activities with his classmates and being more patient. I personally loved this story, its such a great lesson. We used it for story time at our Sunday School recently.

Kristine M Bowen does a brilliant job at narrating.

Beautiful story
