This is a great book I would recommend to anyone that is looking for a good book.  I will tell you that you will shed a few tears but it is a true story of a family who welcomed their second child into the world and she has Downs Syndrome.  

The pictures are amazing and the story is heartwarming.  

Click on the book cover & it will take you to a video overview of the book. 

Thank You!!
