Critical Reviews

Sturge Weber Syndrome can be scary, not only for the child but for the entire family! In this wonderful illustrated book, a two year old boy named Leo explains why he's special, what he (and his parents) are going through and why Sturge Weber doesn't need to be so scary. As a clinician who has cared for children with glaucoma for over 30 years I have learned it's often the parents who need the most reassurance that things will work out. If you're a parent dealing with this disease, read this charming book with your whole family and let Leo reassure all of you that it doesn't need to be so scary.
