Book review: Ben's Adventures A day at the beach By Elizabeth Gerlach


Ben’s Adventures is such a cute book I loved the pictures and the story The title of the book is very cute and creative.  

Great Book that is inspirational and interesting and enjoyable to read each page is wonderful and I love the cover it is beautiful.

This really makes you think about your life and how to live it to the fullest. 

This book would make for a wonderful birthday or Christmas gift for anyone that likes a good book and enjoy’s reading. 

When I was a kindergarten teachers Aide, I would read to the Children, this is a book I would have loved to read to them. 

The little boy in the story has Cerebral Palsy, and he is in a wheelchair Ben the little boy does not let his disability get in the way of him having fun at the beach with his family. 

Ben is a triplet. He as a brother and a sister he is very lucky to have such an amazing family in the story.  

This is a true story about Benjamin Robert Gerlach a little living with Cerebral Palsy and epilepsy but that did not define him.  He had many challenges in his life but he lived each day as a new day he passed away from a two-year fight with multiple respiratory illnesses Ben lost his battle on May 2. 2016. 

This amazing book is dedicated to Benjamin. This book is a great reminder that despite physical or medical differences. All kids can play and have dreams.

I too can relate to this story I have been living with epilepsy my whole life since I was a year old.  I to have overcome so many medical challenges. but I do not let my epilepsy get in the way of living my dreams.  

The Author Elizabeth Gerlach and her husband Rob, and ben’s brother, Colin, and sister Ava.  In ben’s memory, they have created the Ben smiles memorial foundation, to spread smiles in ben’s name by giving gifts of adapted/accessible toys and other small devices to kids with fine and gross motor challenges from ben’s toy closet,  

A portion of book sales will benefit Ben Smiles Memorial Foundation.
