Annie's Message: Special needs, Down Syndrome, Christmas story, Sibling rivalry, educational and entertaining

Annie loves life; she loves her family and loves to show it. Annie also has Down syndrome and this makes her extra special. With a smile that can melt an iceberg, Annie's strong will sometimes gets her into trouble, especially with her sister Emma. Though Emma understands that Annie can't help the way she is, it wasn't until the annual Christmas play that Emma learns to really appreciate her sister because "Annie says it like it is". Illustrated beautifully by Kim Sponauge, this story will inspire and encourage children to appreciate and understand their friends and family with Down syndrome and how they can learn from them.
