24 and 23 Makes Me

This heartwarming account by Grace, a teenager with Down's Syndrome, explaining the genetics behind how she came to be so special is a must read for all. Science teachers can use this book to explain the process of meiosis in a way that invites questions and promotes celebration of our differences. Youth groups and churches can rally around those like Grace when they participate in The Special Olympics. In Charleston, SC, the author and the editor have formed a "Team Grace" to support the real live Grace and her friends for the local Special Olympics. The message? Different is special is great!
