Card, C. Fran
Ceana Has CP
Royal Blue Books. 2006.
Ceana Has CP is a story about a little girl who has Cerebral Palsy. The novel describes a day in the life of Ceana and how her day is like any other child’s day. Throughout the descriptions, the reader gets a glimpse of what CP is and how it affects Ceana’s life. At the end of the story, the author encourages you to see Ceana just as you would see any other child her age.
Card delves into the topic of Cerebral Palsy by describing how children affected with this disease are just like every other child their age. She weaves information about how Ceana is different into the story in a way that informs the reader about the disease, but also doesn’t make it the forefront of the story. The author wanted to make the disease a part of Ceana’s life, not her whole life, and she does a great job of showing this. This story is about Card’s actual granddaughter and she has worked with children with different diseases all her life. She has a lot of knowledge about the topic and wanted to share that knowledge with the world, especially children. This is a great book to give to small children. Although it does give information about the disease, it also does so in a very simplistic way. The book is aimed for children ages 3-7, and I would stick with that age group. This story was a fun look into the life of a little girl who has CP.
