I have ordered this book and will be reviewing it. In the meantime, here''s a little from Amazon: Sometimes a book comes along which not only moves a field on but also changes its direction. Yong's work is just such a book. His careful and systematic theological analysis of disability offers insights and perspectives that allow his readers to grasp the meaning of disability and humanness in ways that are fresh, sometimes startling and disturbing, but always poignant and transformative. |

This is a gorgeous book with touching stories and photos by the real experts on Down syndrome - mothers! Forward by Martha Sears, wife of Dr. William Sears and mother of eight, including a son with Down syndrome. |
|
Another photo-illustrated book told from the point of view of a young boy with Down syndrome, who is born, loved by his parents, plays with his brother, goes to the beach and the doctor - just like everyone else. Then he shares his secret - that he has Down syndrome. What that means in terms of his abilities and goals is put into sweet, child-friendly words. Very helpful for making kids feel comfortable with differntly-abled peers. |
|
A sweet book illustrated with photographs of a girl and her daddy going through daily activities while looking all day for a lost stuffed chimp. That the heroine has Down syndrome has nothing at all to do with the story, but it's a great subtle way to introduce your child to the "normalness" of kids with Down syndrome - that they are more alike than different from you and me. |

This is the first gift someone gave me after Jonny was born 13 years ago, and I've been giving it on the birth of Down syndrome babies ever since. A great and comforting and realistic resource with lots of pictures of - guess what? - kids with Down syndrome plus growth and development charts and hope for the future. |
