Book Review: Tiny Titan

Tuesday February 6, 2007
Tiny TitanAbout.com's Guide to Parenting Special Needs, Terri Mauro, has reviewed the book, Tiny Titan. It's the story of the Yurcek family and their daughter Becca, the "tiny titan" of the title, born with Noonan syndrome and holding tenaciously to life despite dire predictions. Terri says, "[this story] is a rare and wonderful journey of wholeness in parenting a critically ill child . . . ." And the story continues: after Becca's birth the Yurceks adopted five children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Read the review.
