I read this for a group and I didn't like it but now I really like it and it's so interesting And it's easy for someone to relate to this book :)
Peg got polio and she was paralyzed from the neck to down. Her parents took her to Sheltering Arms right away. After Sheltering arms she went to University Hospital in Minnesota. She stayed there for a very long time. She had to learn to walk. When she got better she went back to Sheltering arms. Will she be able to walk? Read the story if you want to know the whole story.
I like this book because it shows tonever give up,but wil peg walk agian.
this book is just amazing! She went through all this pain and she fought for her life. She didn't give up. She wanted to live! I can't imagine what she had to go through, she fought polio, she wasn't willing to give up her life. She's an inspiration, a female roll model. I want to be as brave as she was when I'm older.
Peg's story was so inspiring. It shows that she was brave and had the courage to fight through what seemed like the toughest battle that she ever had to go through. You should read this book because it has a lot of great details.
This book is just amazing! I mean she is a hero and a roll model. She didn't give up, she fought polio. She went through all this pain. This is her battle, she has lived with polio, she went through torture time and therapy It's hard to imagine what she went through. She didn't want to give up she didn't want to lose everything she had. You should read this book. I give it five stars!
This book is a very good book. Its about a girl named Peg Kehret and she got polio and paralyzed from the neck down
Following Peg's journey feels like you are there in the moment with her: everything she went through in this story in a way, reaches out to you. I loved hearing her long road to recovery: she made so many friends and learned so much! I would definitely recommend this book to any older kid, it would appeal to so many people! 10/10 for Small Steps!
Warning: This book mad me cry! Its so sweet! I LOVE THIS BOOK!
