Taking Down Syndrome to School

Written by Jenna Glatzer and illustrated by Tom Dineen, this book is part of The Special Kids in School Series and is a must-have for every counsellor, teacher, school nurse, parent, or caregiver. This beautifully illustrated and fun-to-read storybook tells the story of Nick, a kid living with Down Syndrome. When read aloud, other children can start to identify why a peer with Down Syndrome may be treated differently and begin to empathize with the peer. In addition, children with Down Syndrome or children who have conditions that set them apart as being different begin to feel accepted and safe. Book includes a Kid Quiz to reinforce new information and Ten Tips for Teachers to provide additional facts and ideas for teacher use. 32 pages, softcover.
