SUMMARY:DEBUT AUTHOR MEG ZUCKER AT LAKE FOREST BOOK STORE
DESCRIPTION:We welcome Debut Author Meg Zucker to Lake Forest Book Store to celebrate her new book relating her personal experiences and offering her hard-learned wisdom on raising children with differences and disabilities.\n\nBORN EXTRAORDINARY: EMPOWERING CHILDREN WITH DIFFERENCES AND DISABILITIES\n\n \n\nThursday\, April 13\, 2023 6pm to 7pm\n\nat Lake Forest Book Store\n\n662 N. Western Avenue\n\nLake Forest\, IL 60045 \n\nBooks available for purchase and signing\n\nRefreshments will be served\n\nRSVP at 847-234-4420\n\nA 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. Born of the family's hard-won experiences\, this book offers invaluable advice on raising confident\, empathetic\, and resilient children who succeed\, not despite but because of their differences. Born Extraordinary helps parents of children with differences and disabilities to relinquish their instinctive anxieties\, embrace their new normal\, and ultimately find joy in watching their children thrive. Often the subjects of unwanted attention ranging from pitying stares to bullying Zucker and her sons have learned to ignore what others think and live fearlessly. Also incorporating the stories of other families with visible and invisible differences of all kinds\, Born Extraordinary gives parents the tools to meet their children's emotional needs while supporting the whole family unit. Parents learn how best to empower their children to confront others' assumptions\, grow in confidence\, and encourage dialogue rather than silence\, fear\, and shame--around difference.\n\nMeg Zucker is the founder and president of Don't Hide It\, Flaunt It\, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the mission of advancing understanding and mutual respect for people's differences. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and New York University School of Law\, she is also the U.S. Head of Anti-Money Laundering and Financial Crime at the Royal Bank of Canada.
