• Getting to know you ( sibling stories); Siblings of children with rare disease are in a unique role. Our series, Siblings Stories, highlights that role using real and fictional stories to discuss the dynamic aspects of being a sibling to a child with Angelman syndrome. We hope that siblings connect with these characters and find community in each story – and share these with their classmates, friends, and family!
