Customer Reviews

Love this book

If you read gifts....this is some what similar. But I love this book. I met the author at a seminar..and loved him. He has a sister with Ds. The stories he told...oh man. This book is full of positive stories, not ones about how hard it was when you found out the baby you just gave birth to has Ds...I LOVE this book!

A Real Celebration

As a parent of a child with Down syndrome, this is my favourite book. The photos of the children are delightful and the stories are inspirational and informative. It is a great coffee table book that you can easily share with family and friends and everyone can enjoy and celebrate the person with Down syndrome.

Exquisite photos combine with candid prose

This wonderful volume about children (and their families) touched by Down syndrome is an inspiring and candid look at their dreams and goals, illustrated with original and beautifully styled photos of the children. It is a celebration of the beauty of children and how much alike all children are, regardless of their limitations, perceived or real. I can't decide which kept me from putting this book down - the photos or the stories - both were awesome.
