Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
When Tammy, who has Down syndrome, comes to summer camp, Ms. Theresa has prepped her group by talking about her condition and how it affects some children. Any fears of catching the disease or of not knowing what to say are effectively alleviated by Ms. Theresa’s planning ahead. The young narrator has been asked to be Tammy’s special friend and she is a bit nervous. But soon the two are best of friends, and Tammy teaches the girl many things and helps her with her stage fright at Talent Night. The illustrations are simple and expressive. The text is a bit wordy and didactic in tone, which is too bad because books like this are important when children with special needs are incorporated into the mainstream of school or camp. The book is part of the Let’s Talk about It! series and is also being released in Spanish as Mi Amiga tiene el Síndrome de Down. Grades 2-4. --Bina Williams
Product Description
The sensitively written Let’s Talk About It Books encourage preschool-age and early-grades children to explore their feelings, deal with problems that trouble them, and understand others who have problems of their own. Each title speaks to a particular concern that children might encounter in the course of growing up. All books in this series have appealing color illustrations on every page, and are available in both English and Spanish language editions. A short section at the back of each book offers related advice to parents. My Friend Has Down Syndrome describes a condition that affects many families. Younger children are normally puzzled when they encounter other kids who suffer from Down Syndrome. Here is a heartwarming and reassuring story of how an ordinary child comes to understand and befriend another child who has Down Syndrome.
