Topic: Down Syndrome
What an amazing book to teach differences! This is a sweet book that I have read many times over and used in different classrooms with a variety of ages. The main character, her friend, tells the story about Isabelle, who can still have fun even though she does things differently. However, it's never mentioned that she is diagnosed with Down Syndrome. It doesn't matter what a diagnosis is, it matters how we treat people. {I find myself using this sentence way too much when in conversations with adults. (gasp) I know!} This is highly recommended to read with any child to teach about differences. We are all different but we can all still have fun and enjoy life together.
