Gifts: Volume II
is a collection of true stories describing the gifts of
acceptance, courage, friendship, and joy that individuals with
Down syndrome bring to the world. Written by friends and family
members, as well as professionals who provide care and services,
these stories inspire us to recognize the similarities,
celebrate the differences, and enjoy the gifts sparked by an
extra 21st chromosome.
As the editing for
Gifts: Volume II gets underway, Woodbine House is
already thinking about the cover! To obtain a wide selection of
high quality photos of children with Down syndrome for
consideration, Woodbine House will hold a cover photo contest,
with a prize of $250 awarded to the photographer of the winning
