Books with author Dorothy M. Jackson

Dorothy M Johnson wrote dozens of highly acclaimed western stories and books in her long career. The stories in this book are her very best. They were ranked as four of the top five stories of the 20th century by the Western Writers of America, with The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance as number one. That story plus A Man Called Horse and The Hanging Tree became major Hollywood films. This is the first time Johnson's famous stories have been published together in one book.

Most people are unaware of just how many children there are with special needs. Perhaps the worst part about this is that most of these children do not seem any different from any other kid outwardly. In this book, the author explores her first hand experience with children whose friends, family, and neighbors have no idea just what is going on in the minds of a child with special needs. By having the children write about their own first-hand experiences in their own voice, the author is shedding light on what is for most people, still a taboo and unknown subject. So, come. Meet the boy next door. He's just like you and me, only a little different.
