'I can't put it into words how amazing it is! I couldn't take my eyes of it. I like how J. Bailey has put so much detail into every little piece of his book.
Working with toddlers and children and my partner suffering from epilepsy this book has given me a real insight to what he is going through as he finds it very hard to discuss, the book. It's eye watering. I take my hat off to him for writing this book! He is an inspiration and role model to many others out there. 5* for me, thank you once again.'
