When I read this book it was as if I was reading my life story. I was that little girl. I played make believe all of the time. I wish this book had been in my elementary school when I was having meltdowns in the classroom. To bad my teacher and counselor mistook my inappropriate behavior as "being bad". Instead of playing checkers and the game trouble in my school counseling sessions, I believe I would have been better helped if I'd read Walking On Eggshells. Then I would have known there was someone else in the world who was going through what I went through. I wouldn't have felt so alone.
