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.

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. Review: Don't buy - Atrocious book, belittles disabled children and threw it in the garbage without even giving it to my neice ## Images ![My Friend Suhana: A Story of Friendship and Cerebral Palsy (Growing with Love) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rYD75GwUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For younger kids *by T***H on 5 May 2022* I got this audiobook via a promo code at my request and this is my voluntary review.

We learn that Suhana can't move, talk, or play the way most kids can. She can wave her arms and legs and squeal, so the young girl is learning how to interpret her friend's actions. She seems to observe intently. In her effort to communicate, she draws pictures with colors she knows her friend likes. She hopes her friend's legs become strong enough to stand on someday, but she knows it might not happen. This is a touching story of a young girl who is trying to reach out and communicate with another as best she can. At the end of the book we learn a little more about cerebral palsy and the authors. This is an inspiring book and just right for the younger ones, but older kids could take note, too. Author Abdullah is a talented artist/designer, too. The pictures show us a friendly environment where the children's expressions show us clearly when there is laughter and when there is not. The environment is positive and supportive. It can be hard to know how to interact with someone with cerebral palsy. This book is a great starting point. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/53733081-my-friend-suhana-a-story-of-friendship-and-cerebral-palsy](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/53733081-my-friend-suhana-a-story-of-friendship-and-cerebral-palsy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
