I liked the book but at the end it started to get slow
I loved this book it is sad but it is really good. There are some pretty sad parts in this book.
Small Steps by Peg Kehret is an amazing book. Small Steps talks about what Peg started noticing a couple days before Peg had got Polio and what she went through during Polio and how she got through it. Recommend this book to people who love Narrative Nonfiction and Peg Kehret.
