Your message in Just Hold My Hand is so simple yet so extremely powerful. We have tried versions of this and nothing really worked too well. After reading your book, we wanted to try again, with the simple suggestion of holding Jacob's hand. It was amazing...IT WORKED....It is very helpful to know that people are dealing with similar issues and for me, it's so incredibly amazing and inspirational to see how people like yourself have been able to find time and the energy to share such a powerful message. -- A reader's note

The book "Just Hold My Hand", in a simple and delightful language, not only charms me but also speaks a profound truth of the power of love. How blessed to have a hand to hold throughout the journey of life. We, healthy or not so healthy, all need such a hand. Kids like Jacob and Brennan understand love better than many of us. -- Mimi Yang, Professor at Carthage College

It's a simple, thoughtful approach to understanding how the world appears to youngsters dealing with challenges and offers a simple approach to dealing with some of those challenges from their point of view. -- Mrs. Jensen, Grandmother of "Just Hold My Hand" illustrator Gabrielle Taylor Jensen

Motherhood does not come with a training manual and Franco teaches, in her heartwarming story, how to help not only the special children but the teachers, the mothers, and the rest of the people that impact the child's world....I strongly recommend this book. Go out and get your copy today and reach out a helping hand to a special child! -- Dr. Michael Provitera, Amazon.com Review
