Read this story not only as an adventure, but as a guide for success when encouraging a special child in life. Jaden is a perfect little girl who is challenged by some of life's daily happenings; she cannot stand loud noises, or crowds of people. She wants to be a star, just like her sister, but she cannot keep her balance when she is riding a pony. As you will read, she needs some help to overcome her challenges. Author Lin Edmonds tells a great story, but also shows how Jaden refocuses her attention, and is able to gain ground on her challenges in life.
