Will and Jake are best buds. They have a lot of fun together, and like a lot of the same things. They are different in some ways though. Jake was born with an extra chromosome. This means he has Down syndrome, and he learns some things differently. That's okay though, Will doesn't mind and he appreciates what Jake brings to their friendship. This story explains a bit about Down syndrome to young readers, and shares the key message that we are all more alike than we are different and the world is a better place when we are all included. Meet Will and Jake shows that if you take the chance to get to know somebody for who they are, you might just gain a wonderful friend.
