«Cerebral Palsy, I'm not afraid of you!» - this is a documentary story about the life of a small but very strong girl with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy and her family. What feelings overwhelm parents when their beloved child is given a frightening and incomprehensible diagnosis? Horror, fear, despair? Why my child? What should I do? How to live now? But it is not just about living; it is about living with double dedication: being much more tolerant and attentive, acting proactively, and becoming a support and a pillar not only for the child but also for each other.
The author's sincere prose, vivid descriptions of the child's states and feelings, the pain of everyday situations where anyone faced with the diagnosis recognizes their own story - all of this builds a dynamic plot, making the book an easy read - even for those who are far from the main theme of the narrative.
Parents of children with disabilities will find valuable experience and words of support, while doctors, rehabilitation specialists, educators, and other readers will be able to immerse themselves more deeply in the experiences and difficulties of such families.
