“I had the pleasure of working with Malu at the Resource Support Unit. We often went together to visit children who were not receiving any therapy support. It was fascinating to watch her exceptional skills with the children. Though she was a complete stranger, they would respond to the way she talked to them, and be inspired to move in ways that were new to their experience. [The Lavender Cloud] is a testament to her unique abilities, and her genuine love for these children.”

“I am privileged to have known Malu for over five years, and had regular communication with her since. My first impression on reading [The Lavender Cloud] was of the love and compassion she felt for these children. Her experience as a mother, and later as a therapist, has helped her to invest great depth of feeling in the unique story of the Lavender Cloud and its inhabitants. The story of the parents and nurses, teachers and carers, who look after children with disabilities, tell of their managing—and sometimes not managing—the difficult situations that often arise, with delicacy, tact and affection.”
