Energy Makers and Mito kids is a delightful and understandable way to explain Mitochondrial disease to the people in your community.  Whether you are trying to help your Mito-kid understand their own disease, or trying to understand it yourself, you'll love reading this book to the kids in your life.  This is also a great tool to use in your childs' classroom, with neighbors, extended family members and friends to help them in understanding the variable issue that children with Mitochondrial Disease face.  The author and illustrator was very sure to illustrate children with all degrees of abilities in this book.  The text also educates that some children with Mito may look perfectly "normal' on the outside while others may not be able to walk or talk.  It even explains the importance of not visiting a mito kid when you are sick and educates about hand-washing, in a fun and memorable way.  Finally, the book breaks barriers by saying "Kid's with mito like the same things you do...they have big dream, soaring hopes and great aspirations."  By the end of this easy-to-read 28-page book, everyone will feel lucky to know a Mito kid!
