Like any other preschooler, Victoria is engaged by the world around her,excited to play with her friends, sometimes happy, and sometimes not. But unlike her peers she has Down's Syndrome. This thoughtful book follows Victoria on her typical day as she integrates into a mainstream nursery school. Young readers can compare and contrast their own experiences with Victoria’s as she reads a book, paints, bakes biscuits, and plays games. Though she may look a little different, the book shows that Victoria is really not so different after all.
This is a 32 page hardcover book, that I'm sure will be something both your child, and whole family will enjoy reading. Kids love to read about similar interests and routines that they have in their own lives, so a story about a girl going to school and enjoying regular family events will certainly be engaging for all kids.
Many thanks to Francis Lincoln, the publisher, for their generosity!

You know, I was just reading another blogger's recent post, and your timing on this new addition is priceless. I've noticed that many of us have preschool children that write (could only be my perception, though), and I think the book would be a real comfort to us. Thank you so much for posting about it. Of course, I keep my fingers crossed to win a copy, but I also would like to buy a copy, or two. :)
That book sounds wonderful! I think it is going on our Christmas list! Thanks for the heads up.
