VERY Pleasantly Suprised!
I bought this book for my daughter. I had no idea what to expect due to the subject of the book itself, but I hadn’t seen a children’s book written on a topic like this, so I gave it a shot. I was VERY pleasantly surprised to find the multiple ways the lesson in the story can relate to any child or even an adult’s life! My daughter loved the pictures and the fact that the story rhymes! Overall, VERY pleased with this book and will be getting the next one that comes out in the series as well.

Awesome book!
This has become one of Victor’s favorite books. Well written and with terrific art work to go along – Luke and team did an outstanding job portraying the picture of happy boy that is learning about his very serious condition. Mark the Muskrat is such a courageous character, strong and resilient. I look forward to continued reading session with Vic, as he gets older so I can teach him more about these amazing traits. There is so much learning from this book that we as parents can give our children. We will be ordering another for his day care to helping spread the word. Mark, the Mighty Muskrat is a phenomenal!

Filled with fantastic lessons
Definitely a must buy for any family battling an illness or simply wanting to teach their kids about differences and resilience. Kids will be engaged by the pictures and rhyming content and it’s presented in a way that allows kids to relate. This book opens the doors to have conversations about so many life lessons… overcoming challenges, managing setbacks and fitting in, to name a few! Both kids and adults can benefit from reading this!

Educational, heartwarming story
This book is easy to read to children of any age. It’s a heartwarming story that touches on the confusion that happens when a child is experiencing this little-known disease. I love how the ending is hopeful and courageous and my sons were engaged in the fight against Muscular Dystrophy as well!

My kids love this book!
This is a great story and way of describing such a serious illness in a way that kids can appreciate and understand. My son asked a lot of questions and liked the pictures and colors. I noticed how it helped build empathy in my kids for the challenges others might face.

great book
What a great book. Thanks so much for writing this. This chronicles your story but I used it as a teaching tool for my kids to show them that we don’t always know what others are going through. Keep em coming.
