Stories and research about the potential and dreams of people with Down syndrome, is perfect for new parents of a baby with Down syndrome or any person who sees great potential in someone with extra chromosomes.

I was given this book by my beautiful friend, Wendy, whom I met after Ty had been discharged from the NICU. She introduced me to more beautiful moms, just like her, with children that have Down Syndrome.

I still quote stories from the book, and I giggle a lot whenever I read the amazing accomplishments of the children in this book.

LOVE IT!!!!

I loved reading short stories about the accomplishments of people w/ Down's. And the photos are priceless.
I'm fortunate to have Don Don in my life & wish everyone could have their own special person. I've never met a Down's that didn't bring a smile to my face. They are angels on earth. I think they know it too :))

This book was given to me when my daughter Lacy was born and was such a source of comfort to me. Reading about the success stories of people with Downsyndrome was very encouraging to me as I started my life with Lacy.
