May I recommend my own book? Oh, good. Inspired by my brother, this illustrated nonfiction book profiles 22 athletes, artists, activists, and entrepreneurs around the world who happen to have Down syndrome. Meet the first U.S. Congressional lobbyist and first Ironman triathlete with this genetic condition. Meet a Guatemalan fashion designer, a British BBC actor, and a Japanese ballet dancer with Down syndrome. Meet the first teacher's aide with Down syndrome, "Wovey" from The Hunger Games, the rapper John Tucker from Born this Way, and Alex who loves math and gave a speech about inclusive education to the United Nations when he was nine years old.
