As the parent of a child with Down syndrome, I was disappointed with some of the "wording" in this book. When I explained this to a friend, she asked if the author is from England. Yes, the author is from England. Apparently they are not as "politically correct" as we try to be.
I bought this book for my 5 year old nephew in the hope that he will have a better understanding as to why his cousin has some "differences". I can not give this book to him, or anyone else for that matter. I feel that book places too many labels and places more focus on "why they look so different".
