"Beamer Learns The Signs Of A Stroke And How To Help is an excellent educational resource that explains and defines cerebrovascular stroke in a manner that children can understand."

"Beamer Learns The Signs Of A Stroke And How To Help deals with a grown-up subject in a sensitive, educational way, and will certainly educate children and adults about the signs of stroke and what to do. The format with Beamer, the dog, is adorable, and the illustrations are simple and effective. The information about having a stroke is cleverly translated into an analogy that children can easily understand. This critical information is presented in a way that is entertaining, and will also be easily remembered by children (or adults) when they see the signs of a stroke and need to know what action to take."

"As a Neuro Rehab Physical Therapist, I am witness, on a daily basis, to the benefits of early identification and treatment for a stroke. Education and awareness for people of ALL ages only increases the opportunity for early intervention, and as a result, has the potential to change lives. Beamer, thank you once again for bringing understanding and awareness to such an important topic."
