What books do you recommend for grade school children to explain down syndrome and other special needs to typical children? I try to make sure we have plenty of books of all kinds in our home, but I especially enjoy those books that show inclusion and open discussions for children to learn about all people. Here are a few that we have in our library.
Someone Special, Just like you.
Tricia Brown, Fran Ortiz
My Friend Isabelle
Eliza Woloson
Special People Special Ways
Arlene McGuire
My Friend Has Down Syndrome
Jennifer Moore-Malinos
What books are in your library?
Be gentle.
One book that I have is "What's Wrong with Timmy?" by Maria Shriver... it's not perfect...but it does have it's good qualities.
