Telling a child to be quiet and not look can be shameful for both the child and the person with the difference. Instead of silencing our children and ignoring their curiosity, we should embrace uniqueness in a positive way.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>The Courage to Be Kind<\/em>, authors Jenny Levin and Rena Rosen teach children and parents how to act and respond when they see someone who looks different. Learn with Sam and Ellie as they encounter and interact with several kids in different ways. Ellie is blunt and often offensive. Sam tries to find common ground with each person and provides an example of how to behave. The dramatization of each difference includes photographs and a list of frequently asked questions so kids and parents can learn about various syndromes together.

In this extraordinary memoir, McDermott calls on her dual roles as science journalist and mother to share her family\u2019s traumatic yet enriching experience. Though McDermott and her family had to endure Nathaniel\u2019s harrowing surgeries and the stares and comments of strangers and well-meaning friends, they were also transformed by the boy\u2019s amazing strength and exuberant personality. With grace, courage, and humor, McDermott shows readers how a child with a rare syndrome can illuminate \u201ca whole new way of seeing, not simply him and others, but ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69d11fee0fffc\" data-id=\"69d11fee0fffc\" data-height=\"30\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"20\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"20\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"20\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-5 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element blue-text-hover\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"x_MsoNormal\">At Face Value: My Triumph Over a Disfiguring Cancer<\/h3>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><em>Terry Healy<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><em><strong>Caveat Press, 2006<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Terry Healey was a junior at the University of California at Berkeley.

Demoralizing encounters with medical professionals and insensitive remarks about Jim\u2019s face leave mother and child feeling vulnerable. They struggle with self-blame and fight against dark thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>Over time they encounter and endure new doctors, multiple surgeries with disappointing results, and peers who taunt and bully. Gradually, Jim and Barbara empower themselves in their own ways, protest dismissive treatment, and become strong advocates for themselves. Jim proves to himself he can handle the world on his own after a successful 400-mile solo bike trip. As he ages into a young adult, Barbara frees herself from her own worries and drawing on her experiences, shapes a career as a counseling psychologist so that she can address the needs of parents of children with birth defects and disabilities. Jim also develops a successful career, a loving partnership, and a settled relationship with his cleft palate.<\/p>\n<p>Then, prompted by an invitation from her 45-year-old son to \u201cshare our story,\u201d mother and son embark on an unflinching account of their personal and shared experiences, their often-differing memories, and how they dealt with and learned from his cleft lip and palate birth defect.<\/p>\n<p>Entwined with Barbara\u2019s narrative of her mothering experience, Jim\u2019s poems shine a light on a teenager\u2019s struggle, and both discover that this candid sharing of private challenges has taken them to a deeper parent\u2013child relationship.<\/p>\n<p>For children with birth defects, the message of this powerful, tender, and truthful book is \u201cYou are not alone; hardship is not ruinous; a full life is yours even if your hopes are not completely realized.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69d11fee10633\" data-id=\"69d11fee10633\" data-height=\"30\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"20\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"20\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"20\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-5 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element blue-text-hover\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3><strong>A Face for Picasso: Coming of Age with Crouzon Syndrome<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><em>By Ariel Henley<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Farrar, Straus &amp; Giroux, 2021<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Ages 13 and up<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A memoir about coming of age with <strong><span style=\"color: #eb2b94;\"><a style=\"color: #eb2b94;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myface.org\/craniofacial-conditions\/crouzonsyndrome\/\">Crouzon Syndrome<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. At only eight months old, identical twin sisters Ariel and Zan were diagnosed with Crouzon syndrome &#8211; a rare condition where the bones in the head fuse prematurely. They were the first twins known to survive it. Growing up, Ariel and her sister endured numerous appearance-altering procedures. Surgeons would break the bones in their heads and faces to make room for their growing organs. While the physical aspect of their condition was painful, it was nothing compared to the emotional toll of navigating life with a facial disfigurement. Ariel explores beauty and identity in her young-adult memoir about resilience, sisterhood, and the strength it takes to put your life, and yourself, back together time and time again.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69d11fee1075f\" data-id=\"69d11fee1075f\" data-height=\"30\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"20\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"20\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"20\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-5 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=A+Face+for+Picasso%3A+Coming+of+Age+with+Crouzon+Syndrome&#038;i=stripbooks&#038;crid=18KKEIHCIIG70&#038;sprefix=a+face+for+picasso+coming+of+age+with+crouzon+syndrome%2Cstripbooks%2C104&#038;ref=nb_sb_noss_1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"194\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/a-face-for-picasso-194x300.jpeg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-medium\" alt=\"\" title=\"a face for picasso\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/a-face-for-picasso-194x300.jpeg 194w, https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/a-face-for-picasso-8x12.jpeg 8w, https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/a-face-for-picasso.jpeg 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-5 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Ugly+By+Robert+Hoge&#038;i=stripbooks&#038;crid=J1LKFCAHQARV&#038;sprefix=ugly+by+robert+hoge%2Cstripbooks%2C108&#038;ref=nb_sb_noss_1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"251\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/UGLY-book-251x300.png\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-medium\" alt=\"\" title=\"UGLY book\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/UGLY-book-251x300.png 251w, https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/UGLY-book-856x1024.png 856w, https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/UGLY-book-768x919.png 768w, https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/UGLY-book-10x12.png 10w, https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/UGLY-book.png 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-5 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element blue-text-hover\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3><strong>Ugly<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><em>By Robert Hoge<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Hachette Australia, 2015; Viking, 2016.<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Ages 8 and up<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Robert Hoge was born, he had a tumor the size of a tennis ball in the middle of his face and short, twisted legs.

It records the journey of a timid, shy child with no self-confidence or worth, experiencing the world of modern medicine, maxillofacial surgery, and setbacks around every corner. The eventually successful surgery included more than 20 operations, the most challenging endured during Shelley s teenage years. The extremely rare condition led to almost unbearable facial disfigurement and hearing loss which became the subject of one of the case studies in Derek Henderson&#8217;s <em>A Colour Atlas and Textbook of Orthognathic Surgery: The Surgery of Facial Skeletal Deformity<\/em>. These days Shelley is a confident survivor who seeks to inspire others with her story of hardship, hope and perspective. As she says towards the end of her book, \u201cscars are on my face and body, but not in my heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69d11fee10dd9\" data-id=\"69d11fee10dd9\" data-height=\"30\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"20\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"20\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"20\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-5 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Shelley%3A+The+Uplifting+Story+of+a+Battle+to+Overcome+Disfigurement&#038;i=stripbooks&#038;crid=1QN9CNL8M17HQ&#038;sprefix=shelley+the+uplifting+story+of+a+battle+to+overcome+disfigurement%2Cstripbooks%2C103&#038;ref=nb_sb_noss\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"194\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/61xvXlrzKkL._AC_UF10001000_QL80_-194x300.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-medium\" alt=\"\" title=\"61xvXlrzKkL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/61xvXlrzKkL._AC_UF10001000_QL80_-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/61xvXlrzKkL._AC_UF10001000_QL80_-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/61xvXlrzKkL._AC_UF10001000_QL80_.jpg 648w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-5 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Normal%3A+One+Kid%E2%80%99s+Extraordinary+Journey&#038;i=stripbooks&#038;crid=1VDM6T41SQNJ1&#038;sprefix=normal+one+kid+s+extraordinary+journey%2Cstripbooks%2C104&#038;ref=nb_sb_noss\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/61ECkF-ZDML._AC_UF10001000_QL80_-200x300.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-medium\" alt=\"\" title=\"61ECkF-ZDML._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/61ECkF-ZDML._AC_UF10001000_QL80_-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/61ECkF-ZDML._AC_UF10001000_QL80_-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/www.myface.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/61ECkF-ZDML._AC_UF10001000_QL80_.jpg 666w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-5 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element blue-text-hover\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3><strong>Normal: One Kid\u2019s Extraordinary Journey<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><em>By Magdalena and Nathaniel Newman<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Clarion Books, 2021<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Ages 10 and up<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this uplifting and humorous memoir brimming with black-and-white comic illustrations, Nathaniel and his mother, Magda, tell the story of his growing up with the same craniofacial syndrome as the boy from\u00a0<em>WONDER <\/em>\u2014 from facing sixty-seven surgeries before the age of fifteen, to making friends, moving across the country, and persevering through hardships.

Unlike other disabilities, a facial difference not only affects how one is viewed by others but also how one views themself, since so much of our \u201cimmediate\u201d identity is wrapped up in appearance. This book explores what it\u2019s like to try and live an ordinary life behind an extraordinary face. Although there are commonalities in every story, such as stares, and ridicule, each person faces unique challenges and realizes different outcomes. Each journey is an adventure and each person\u2019s story leaves the reader with nothing less than a sense of wonder. The stories in this book include viewpoints of not only the people affected by a facial deformity, but also their family members. Peppered among these dramatic stories are chapters on medical and scientific advances, the history of facial plastic surgery, and face transplant.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69d11fee13a00\" data-id=\"69d11fee13a00\" data-height=\"30\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"20\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"20\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"20\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-5 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element blue-text-hover\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3>Children with Facial Difference: A Parents&#8217; Guide<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>By Hope Charkins<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Woodbine House, 1996<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Each year, thousands of children are born with facial difference-abnormalities of the bones and tissues of the head and face that are present at birth or appear a few years later.

Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. The First World War claimed millions of lives and left millions more wounded and disfigured. In the midst of this brutality, however, there were also those who strove to alleviate suffering.\u00a0<em>The Facemaker<\/em>\u00a0tells the extraordinary story of such an individual: the pioneering plastic surgeon Harold Gillies, who dedicated himself to reconstructing the burned and broken faces of the injured soldiers under his care.<\/p>\n<p>Gillies, a Cambridge-educated New Zealander, became interested in the nascent field of plastic surgery after encountering the human wreckage on the front. Returning to Britain, he established one of the world\u2019s first hospitals dedicated entirely to facial reconstruction. There, Gillies assembled a unique group of practitioners whose task was to rebuild what had been torn apart, to re-create what had been destroyed. At a time when losing a limb made a soldier a hero, but losing a face made him a monster to a society largely intolerant of disfigurement, Gillies restored not just the faces of the wounded but also their spirits. <em>The Facemaker<\/em>\u00a0places Gillies\u2019s ingenious surgical innovations alongside the dramatic stories of soldiers whose lives were wrecked and repaired. The result is a vivid account of how medicine can be an art, and of what courage and imagination can accomplish in the presence of relentless horror.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69d11fee18ebc\" data-id=\"69d11fee18ebc\" data-height=\"30\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"20\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"20\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"20\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-5 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element blue-text-hover\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3>I&#8217;ve Just Seen a Face: A Practical and Emotional Guide for Parents of Children Born with Cleft Lip and Palate (Year One and Beyond)<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>By Amy Mendillo<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Luminare Press, 2023<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hearing the news of a baby\u2019s <span style=\"color: #eb2b94;\">cleft lip and palate<\/span> can feel overwhelming for a parent.
