""This book, Grace, the Girl with Cells that were Sickled, hooks readers immediately with the disparities facing persons with sickle cell disease in a country that is lacking public medical resources. At last, a book with a set of practical, honest stories about a diagnosis and illness from someone of Caribbean descent. I love the dos and do nots of this book, especially the ones in chapters two and three. Chapter three brought tears to my eyes, as I was bullied in school by a few classmates and their older siblings who were from my home community. I could not imagine what Grace went through, being in physical pain and being bullied at the same time. The kindness and resilience of the siblings was astounding. The book provides gems for parents with children diagnosed with sickle cell disease, and they can also be applied to other childhood illnesses. This is a good read."" -Amoy Thompson, RN, BSN, MSN
