Born Extraordinary: A Parent’s Guide to Empowering Children to Embrace Their Visible and Invisible Differences

Meg Zucker was born with one finger on each hand, shortened forearms, and one toe on each misshapen foot, caused by a genetic condition called ectrodactyly. She would eventually pass this condition on to her two sons, and, along with her husband, raise them and their adopted daughter, who has her own invisible differences. Join author Meg Zucker of Born Extraordinary: Empowering Children with Differences and Disabilities (Penguin Random House) as she shares from her experience and offers invaluable advice on raising confident, empathetic, and resilient children who succeed, not despite but because of their differences/disabilities.
