Praise for The Princess Panda Tea Party
"All children deserve a story they can picture themselves in, and the Princess Panda Tea Party is that story. This is not only a fairy tale for those with Cerebral Palsy, but also a reminder that everyone, regardless of ability, can harness their own amazing powers."
--Lindsey Wiltse, Communications and Program Coordinator, Children's Neurobiological Solutions
"In this moving and modern twist on an old fairytale, Jewel Kats takes us on a journey of endurance, acceptance, and strength. Putting her disability aside, Michelle finds a way to shine in an inspiring way."
--Shaila Abdullah, author of My Friend Suhana: A Story of Friendship and Cerebral Palsy
"The Princess Panda Tea Party weaves together the emotional pain of children faced with being different and the magical hopefulness of finding a way to step outside one's physical limitations and soar as a person. A good read for adults and children regardless of their position in life."
Rick Ritter, MSW, author of Coping with Physical Loss and Disability
