Book Reviews of There's an s on My Back: "S" Is for Scoliosis
Book Review: Perfect for a New Scoliosis Kid!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book will go a long way toward showing any kid faced with wearing a new scoliosis brace what it's like to have scoliosis and what to expect. Told in the first person from a fifth-grade girl's point of view, the book takes you through the entire process from diagnosis to treatment.My daughter and I are reading this aloud to each other every night, while she wears her new brace. I can see the optimism building on her little face with each paragraph. And, it's making me feel better about the brace and the role it will have in her life for 20 hours a day for the next few years.
This is a calming and well-written book for anyone who is going through this difficult experience. Highly recommended.
Summary of There's an s on My Back: "S" Is for Scoliosis
Maisey MacGuire is a fifth grader and her life is much like that of any fifth grader until the day of her scoliosis screening. "After the little talk, Ms. Bennett had each girl stand on a piece of masking tape stuck to the floor and asked each one to move into a diving position. I kept thinking to myself, "I sure hope everyone knows how to swim!" The Ms. Bennett just seemed to stare at each back, looking ever so carefully. Eventually, it was my turn. She seemed to take a lot longer with me and I was getting pretty uncomfortable being in that position so long. Finally, she told me that I could stand up."Health Books
