Written from the perspective of nine-year-old Chloe, in kid-friendly language that is easy to understand, big sister Chloe explains facial differences, cleft palate, BAHA/Ponto hearing aids, and more.

Chloe shares her journey of Becoming a Super Sibling, including the initial days in the NICU, the endless doctor’s appointments, long boring car rides to the children’s hospital, as well as the unexpected joy of meeting new friends in waiting rooms . . . And of course, the ways she helps her sister!

Becoming A Super Sibling does more than merely tell a story: It fosters understanding, acceptance, and respect for the differences that make us unique. It presents a narrative of resilience, love, acceptance, and the extraordinary strength of a family in the face of daunting challenges.

Our goal is to encourage, inspire, and equip parents, siblings, and families who have embarked on a similar journey with the hopeful message that every person—regardless of their differences—holds immense value and potential.

Written by the parent of a child who has hearing loss, Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me features a diverse group of children and celebrates the positive characteristics that make each child wonderfully different in their own unique way. All children can see themselves in the characters in Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me whether they connect with a character’s personal challenges, physical appearance, or personality. Becky Zingale hopes her writing will encourage children to find what they have in common with others and to embrace what makes them, and others, wonderfully unique.

If you are a parent, teacher, or medical professional assisting a child who feels different, Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me, will help start conversations that promote inclusion, acceptance, and friendship.
