Customer Reviews

This book is beautiful

A beautiful little girl and her family and all that Victoria does, at school, playing games with her friends, at ballet, at the farmer's market, etc. in her busy day. Just gorgeous pictures throughout and a wonderful presentation of inclusion. I love that the Down syndrome aspect is only mentioned on the back page. My two young daughters love it!

Victoria's Day

I recieved Victoria's Day by Maria de Fatima Campos as a gift, and what a delightful book. I wish I had this book when I was a Special Education Paraprofessional. Inclusion is not only benefical for Victoria, but to all those she interacts with. Because she has Down's syndrome doesn't mean she can't take part in educational or social activites. This book show her interaction with peers, and hopefully these experiences will be the foundation they need to make them more sensitive and emphathic to others during their lifetime. We need more books that cover Down's syndrome and the successful transition to independance and adulthood. Great job, and wonderful pictures!
