A great read! You will not want to put it down. It's truly a remarkable story about how every human deserves love and acceptance as we need food and water.

    Wonderful story.  Get the movie, too!

Wonderful story!  I bought it because Big Dan graduated from the same high school that I did.  I sat and had coffee with him after reading the book and learned what a wonderful, humble man he is.  The special education teacher, Mike Kersjes, and the students did all of the work---but Big Dan made it all possible by providing the financial support that they needed.  Be sure to keep a box of Kleenex handy, because your eyes will surely be leaking by the time you finish this book!  There's a DVD, too---Hallmark made a movie by the same name. Look for it on Amazon and buy it, too!

A SMILE AS BIG AS THE MOON is a beautiful story.  It touches the heart immediately.  It is a story that focuses on ability not the individual disabilities of the students.  Let's look past what we see and give everyone a fair shot at achieving success(at any level).I have worked with special ed kids during my professional career.  They are amongst the most capable and sincere students that I have had.  All they ask is an equal share at being accepted.  We all have abilities.  Just give them a chance.A disability doesn't define the level of achievement that one is able to reach.  It is the heart of the person that should eclipse such out-dated expectations.
