"Isabelle has Down syndrome, but that doesn't matter to her friend Charlie.... 'Life is more fun with friends like Isabelle,' Charlie says, and readers will agree."
--School Library Journal

"A magical book that presents acceptance and inclusion of people with disabilities with beautiful simplicity."
--Elizabeth Goodwin, Chair and Co-Founder National Down Syndrome Society

"This wonderful book celebrates the innocence and wisdom of children. We can all learn from this endearing tale of friendship."
--Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Founder Special Olympics

"What is outstanding about this book is that the story line never mentions that Isabelle has a disability. The message in My Friend Isabelle is that everyone is different. Isabelle is a valuable child who is desirable as a friend."
