Kids Like Me Learn ABCs

Here are two new board books starring adorable and diverse children with Down syndrome on every page--and many of their siblings too. These chunky, sturdy books are perfect for youngsters who are ready to start learning their colors and ABCs. Both books are illustrated with appealing photos of children on crisp white backgrounds, surrounded by colorful borders. Each page of Kids Like Me...Learn ABCs shows a child with Down syndrome holding or interacting with an object that represents a letter of the alphabet. Surrounding images also show that letter in sign language, upper and lower case type, and an illustration of the featured object.
