What are people saying about this book?
I have just finished reading Derrin Cramer’s, “Life on the Bright Side” and found that I could hardly put it down! Between these pages lies a wealth of information, firmly grounded by Derrin’s experiences as the mother of gifted children. Derrin is able to make sense of living with, and parenting a highly gifted child and although we are only at the beginning of our journey as a family, I can see that we will be returning to this book many times to help navigate along the way.
Kelly (parent of 4 year old girl)

'I just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful book. I had so many questions, and as soon as I picked up this book I was unable to put it down. It covers so many issues that are applicable to my kids, and provides information that I would have spent hours looking for on the web.I feel more empowered for knowing I can dip back into this book whenever a new question pops into my head. Thank you again!'
Kate (parent of 2 gifted young children)

'Tell all your friends about this book. If they even think they might have a bright kid they should read it.'
Rose (mum of 6 year old girl living in a rural area)

'I wish this had been available when our children were young and we were just starting out on our gifted journey.'
Karen (mother of two gifted young adult boys)

'It explained so many things and not just about my kids. I kept thinking 'That is me!' and 'That's why!'. You were right, it has changed my reality and just might have saved my sanity. Thank you, thank you!'
Sam (parent of 4 gifted children)
