The Special Raccoon
Helping a Child Learn About Handicaps and Love

by Kim Carlisle

This is a lovingly illustrated, unusually moving story of two raccoon sisters, one of whom is profoundly handicapped. In the course of the beautiful spring day they spend together, the "normal" sister learns to accept and appreciate the uniqueness of each one of us.

Kim Carlisle is a former teacher and the mother of a profoundly handicapped child.
