This book tells a tale of a child and his family that shows, in a light hearted way, the trials and tribulations that a child with Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD, Dyspraxia) may go through in his everyday life from the moment he gets up until he goes to bed at night.

It shows the way that other children and even parents can view the child and the real impact this has on the child's view of himself. It gives the reader insight into what it is really like for the child himself.

The book will be useful for parents of children with DCD and other specific learning difficulties and teachers who come into contact and want to help and support the child in the classroom and in the playground. It is not just a story but also gives the teacher constructive strategies that can be tried with the child, so it is instructive as well as informative.

The book has been written by an experienced teacher in the field of special educational needs and a parent who understands the day-to-day hassles of family life. He has clearly taken a child-centred approach in writing this amusing but thought-provoking book.
