About this ebook
Do you know someone with disabilities? Basic life skills, such as getting dressed or brushing teeth can be difficult for them to do. Some people may appear a little different on the surface, but isn't what's on the inside that counts?
Jared's twin brother has special limitations. Tim can barely stand and has not yet learned basic speech. He uses a wheelchair, lacking the ability to move himself.
Despite being born with Cerebral Palsy, Tim battles mental and physical impairments, while he strives to live a normal life. Whether it's exercising weak muscles, trying to learn sign language, or merely playing with his twin, brother Jared, Tim always tries to fit in.
Best Buddies for Life is a valuable, social awareness tool. The story depicts a realistic bond of family love, tolerance and acceptance that influences a child struggling through multiple handicaps. It also portrays the hurtful actions of others who don't understand his disabilities. The story is told through the devoted eyes of the healthy, seven-year-old, brother. The story captures the solid foundation which supports a child living with multiple impairments, and the results of a nurturing lifestyle.
Having a family member who has disabling disabilities could be a challenge for some, but spending a day with these two brothers, will make medical conditions such as Tim's easier to understand.

Jared! Your pancakes are done.
Okay, Mom! I’ll be there in a minute.
I’ve been called into the house for breakfast. This is where my family and I live. Last night, Dad replaced my old skateboard. So, this morning, I woke up early and went outside for a spin.

When someone has handicaps, ordinary things can be difficult to do. My twin, brother Tim may never get the chance to ride on a skateboard. All his life, he has had to learn at a pace much slower than me.
