My son has albinism

My son is now 34 years old and a professional West coast swing dancer. I wish I had this information when he was born and I'm glad parents have it now. Thank you. After reading this so much makes since now. I've been blessed because he's fine and successful. To all the parents out there God Bless You and your children.

Great primer for the parent/teacher/grandparent, etc. of a newly diagnosed person with albinism. However, I would love if it had included more detail, more explanation. It was a good start, now I want a DEEPER book
