| “Ronald McDonald House of New York has been using an invaluable tool and resource called The Other Kid. This wonderful book has helped us understand the thoughts and needs of the siblings of the patients. We want to thank Lorraine for opening up her heart so that we can help others be noticed and not be the other child.” |

| “Parents worry about the voice they have trouble hearing- the voice of the other child. Lorraine Donlon’s simple yet profound workbook helps these “other children” develop a voice that can speak and be heard by all concerned.” |

| “Finally! There is a a workbook that acknowledges that the siblings of special needs children have fears, emotions and concerns surrounding the issues of their brothers and/or sisters. The Other Kid explores these often unspoken issues and emotions and at the same time brings these needs into the awareness of the parents and counselors. This book was written based on the personal experience of The Other Kid, for The Other Kid’s out there. I highly recommend this book for use in a home, school or clinic setting.” |

| “It would have been amazing if I had this book when my son, “the other kid” was young. I was always concerned about him but couldn’t find a way to address those concerns. There was a silence about “it”, those things that were so hard to talk about. We could have read this book together and would have felt less alone. At least others who are going through this experience can use this incredibly valuable tool.” |
