for the source of the picture, and a brief profile of Maria: http://en.sae.gr/?id=13931
From this profile we learn that Maria Rifioti wrote a book for families with children with disabilities, entitled, With Laughter and Tears. Unfortunately for English speaking readers, (as well as speakers of Russian, Arabic, Serbian, etc.) it is available only in Greek and Portuguese. You might want to contact Light and Life Publishers to add your voice to mine and get her book translated into English. Click on
