I Love You the Purplest,
by Barbara M. Joosse
Recommended by: Genie Bunch, California
-- It's been a godsend to me! First, it's helped me to understand what a spirited child is, and second, that I have one, and that I am one. Best of all, it's helped me to better interact with my daughter, leading to fewer battles, a better-behaved child, and all-around family harmony. The bonus is that my daughter and I are beginning to enjoy one another again, and I'm hoping that this will lead to my non-verbal daughter gaining the courage to want to learn to talk more.
