DS Awareness #3: Evie’s getting so good in her walker, that she surprised everyone in gym class by taking off to go tag her classmate during a game! Here’s a #tbt to the spring when Ms. Sassy Pants took off when I told her it was time to go home. She’s overcoming her hypotonia (low muscle tone) every day! With low muscle tone, walking or standing for long periods of time is hard work! #evietheextraordinary
It's official! My new children's book, "The Polka-Dotted Penguin" has launched today! How fitting that my labor of love launches on Labor Day. The writing of the book and putting all the parts together took about a year. It was definitely a pandemic-worthy project. I wrote this book because I wanted more books available for sharing with Evie's class for World Down Syndrome Day on 3-21 and for Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October. I'm happy to release my new book just in time for October! My hope is that this book will be used as a tool to start conversations with children about how to treat others who may look or act differently than they do. It's all about inclusion and celebrating differences. This book is perfect for ages 4-9, or any ages who love penguins, or really anyone who loves Evie!
