Recensioner i media

David, who is 12, has Down Syndrome and tells the story himself, and this gives it an immediacy that is important... David begins by saying 'Don't; forget that I'm just David. Down syndrome is not the biggest part of me!'... Black and white illustrations are a good addition, and there is advice to teachers, to families and to parents. An excellent list of publications, resources and organisations lends a lot of importance to this book. It will be of importance to anyone who knows, teaches, loves or meets someone with DS.
