To educate parents to accept the possibility that one of their children may be mentally retarded and then to counsel and guide them through all the family and personal difficulties of adjusting their lives to this possibility is a difficult and protracted procedure. The acquisition of similar understanding by the retarded child's normal siblings, or by the neighborhood children, can be an even more complex process. As a partial answer to this problem, Mrs. Ruth K. Doorly has written the text and Kenneth Boudreau, a 15-year-old former pupil of Mrs. Doorly's, has illustrated Our Jimmy.
