Down syndrome - books for parents

When Jonny was born 17 years ago, there were only a couple books available on Down syndrome. It's so ironic that our culture has evolved in compassion and caring towards individuals with Down syndrome even as 90% of babies diagnose prenatally are aborted. In actuality, it couldn't be a better time to have a child with Down syndrome. And believe me, as a mother I will tell you that having one isn't about us helping them reach their potential as much as it's about them helping us reach ours.
