Lenore Eklund is the Illustrator of "Where is the manual for this!?" and mom to a medically complex child. We talk about the planning and work that goes into kids with disabilities having ordinary(and extraordinarily beautiful) childhood experiences. We talk about what happens when communities around the family take some of that planning off the primary caregiver's shoulders and when they don't. And why it's all worth it!
