Instabooktours Review Highlights
Cerebral Palsy: ‘A Story’ is currently on tour with @instabooktours. I will be posting a few of the tour highlight reviews on my blog.
“I was so excited to read this book as I genuinely know nothing about Cerebral Palsy. Not only was it a beginner’s guide to what the condition actually is, it is also a self-help book about being different, being motivated and celebrating yourself for what you are. It’s astonishing how much mental strength she must have had to do what she has done and to think that she went to 46 without a ‘proper’ diagnosis.
I love that this is a book that you can dip in and out of. It has short chapters and subheadings that wherever you open the book it will be helpful. It is easy to read with heaps of helpful advice.
This book is great, and one that I will no doubt go back to countless times in the future!”
“A fascinating read which motivates you and widens your mind at the same time. This book part memoir and part motivational guide is about the author’s journey where from being angry and confused, grows on to become a strong and resilient woman through honing her positive mental/ physical growth and experiences.
Personally I don’t know anyone with cerebral palsy. But being a kindergarten teacher I have come across loads of kids with unique and different ways of handling mental and physical abilities. That being said I have never been able to properly understand a child who’s full of negative family background and deals with mental illness. This book was definitely an eye opener and informative.
The writing style is crisp and easy to understand. I loved reading about Ilana’s childhood. Nobody’s perfect and I believe this book shows how even one’s own family mistakes can take you to higher levels if you’re determined and fight. In this book the author also talks about how to overcome the insecurities, understanding opinions, reflect on the struggles and making differences together. A great read for sure. Highly recommend you to check this one out.”
“As soon as I saw this book being offered by the lovely Vic over at @instabooktours I jumped at the chance to be on the #booktour
Having also had a health condition from birth (something I wasn’t diagnosed with until I was 30) and also being treated very differently to my siblings by others around me. I was really interested to hear Ilana’s story and read of her experiences.
Ilana narrates an eye opening, emotional and above all inspirational story. One that I found myself relating to on so many level. Both practically and mentally. With the added insights into self help, healing, tips on learning to live with ‘disability’, and inspirationally relevant quotes from the likes of Nelson Mandela and Charles Dickens. This latest offering from Ilana is a must read for not only those living with physical and mental health challenges. But for anyone working with, living and supporting those who have continually challenges on this path we call life.
Thank you to both Ilana and Vic for my gifted copy and the chance to read and review this brilliant book.”
“Wow, what an amazing read. I saw this as a book tour on @instabooktours page and really wanted to read it, I was very excited when I got accepted for it.
This was such an eye opening, inspirational and emotional read. Everything this lady has been through. I really loved the addition of the quotes for the likes of Stephen Hawkins about disability.
I didn’t really know much about Cerebral Palsy until this read and I’m so glad I read it.
Thank you @instabooktours and @ilana_estelle_author for this easy star read and the opportunity to join in with this book tour.”
