Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 3?Eagerly anticipating a playmate, nine-year-old Nathan helps his parents get ready for Veronica's birth. However, after his sister is born, his parents tell Nathan that she is a special baby who needs extra help and he overhears the words "Down syndrome." His mother and father lovingly explain that Veronica isn't sick but that she will be slow in learning to do things. Together the boy and his father look at pictures of Nathan's first year and begin an album for Veronica. Realistic watercolors add warmth and understanding to a sensitively told story. A final "Note to Parents" defines this congenital disorder with suggestions for dealing with both child and family in a positive manner. Useful for a limited audience.?Virginia Opocensky, formerly at Lincoln City Libraries,
