Avid readers become....writers!

Since we are celebrating readers who have Down syndrome we can get excited about Kellie Greenwald, author and illustrator of KELLIE'S BOOK-A Celebration of the Possible.

Kellie has DS and shares with the reader the joy she embraces in her busy life. As an artist, her book reflects life experiences with richly coloured pieces she has produced. Through the book, she reveals her happiness and satisfaction in her own words and illustrations. She dispells myths and rebuilds old impressions with her accomplishments and the many fulfilling aspects of her life.

For people wondering if a life with Down syndrome is a life of emptiness, misery and unhappiness, here is a chance to get a real, first hand perspective. Kellie does more here than paint a picture of her own joy in this book, she has illustrated that DS is not a barrier to a happy, fulfilling life. Prejudices and ignorance are responsible for old assumptions and Kellie has done a great service to society by showing us that any life that is celebrated is one worth sharing.
