Loving Lefties: How to Raise Your Left-Handed Child in a Right-Handed World

An unexpected pleasure, that's the only way I can describe this book. Initially, I purchased "Loving Lefties" for a friend who has had a lifelong interest in her left-handedness. It was not something I would have chosen to read, even if I was left-handed, but when I began paging through it, I found, to my surprise, that it is very well written, quite entertaining, and informative. Rather than overwhelming the reader with an endless spate of technical jargon, or writing down to her audience as is too often done, Ms. Healey (or her "writer," a Grant Jarrett? whom she aptly praises in the book's acknowledgements) draws the reader in and educates in a tone and language that keeps you reading and learning about an unexpectedly intriguing topic. I couldn't be more enthusiastic about this book.
