A little bit EXTRAORDINARY by Esther Robinson
A little girl called Juliette, who has Down's syndrome, describes her characteristics, feelings, hopes and dreams in a rhyming and beautifully illustrated story that inspires young readers to celebrate difference and their unique talents as they learn important values of being kind, inclusive, compassionate and empathetic.
'A little bit Extraordinary' is a children's picture book that follows a cute young girl named Juliette who has Down's syndromeThroughout the book readers learn what Down's syndrome is and helps readers learn that we're all different, which is what makes us special. This is a beautiful story told in rhyme that promotes acceptance and celebrates diversity. I loved this charming book. This book explains the physical differences in someone with Down's syndrome as well as the science behind the differences. It does so easily so that anyone can understand it. Even as an adult I found this book educational as I wasn't fully aware of what causes the syndrome and the effects it has on people. I was so wrapped up in the story and learning about Juliette that I didn't realize the story is told in rhyme because it flowed so easily. The story discusses topics such as bullying, recognizing and celebrating differences, and showing kindness. The illustrations are exceptional, with bright colorful images on each page that provide context to the words. I recommend this book to parents, teachers, and even adults, like me, who don't know much about Down's syndrome. There are more than a dozen talking points provided at the end of the book. This really highlights the major benefit this book has; it begins a discussion. Whether you know someone with Down's syndrome or not I highly recommend reading this with your child so that you are both knowledgeable and ready to accept anyone for who they are. - Literary Titan (5 Stars)
