Jackie, The Heart-Warming, Inspirational True Story of a Remarkable Down Syndrome Girl: Plus, Parables for Parents of Down Syndrome Children
Author: Dan Junot
As a publishing, distributing, & warehousing facility dedicated solely to the promotion of products created by, for, & about special children, we were instantly drawn to the style of Mr. Junot's book. Writing in parable form, using true life stories from his own parenting experiences with his Down syndrome daughter, the author has chock filled this book with practical, creative, do-able strategies for working with the special need child. In fact, many of our staff have used his techniques on our "normal" children to great success. Each principle is illustrated via a story, showing the direct application. Aside from his personal experience with Jackie, Mr. Junot has also worked in a professional capacity with all education levels (from primary school to college) & with all special education levels (from severely mentally retarded to talented & gifted). When reading this book, you get a true sense of this unique perspective, which makes his insight believable! & embraceable. For persons who've been there are who are newly arrived there, the narrative in this book will profoundly affect you. Besides all of that, the story of Jackie is just a great humanistic read; it will have you laughing, crying & cheering whether you have any personal or professional connection with the mentally challenged or not.
