  A MUST HAVE FOR PARENTS  This book is fantastic. It explains so much and gives great tips for helping our kids grow up left handed as they were born to be - not forcing them to 'make do' in a generally right handed world. Highly recommended   Stuart Dalgleish

  Totally essential  This book should be in the professional library of every school and college and be in every household with a left handed member. It is user friendly and practical without resorting to stereotypes. It is also a useful introduction to the wider academic issues raised by left-handedness.   Liz Haslam

  Good but only for starters!  Certainly should have got the book at the beginning as my child defined herself as a lefthander but now later on as have already done some research I pretty much knew it all!So recommendable for beginner righthanders getting to grips with it all!
