Description: A heartwarming tale of friendship between two children, one with Down syndrome, promoting acceptance, inclusion, and celebrating differences.
Age Group: 3-7 years

Un joven llamado Carlos describe las actividades que comparte con su amiga Isabel, una chica con síndrome de Down.

My Friend Isabelle explains the friendship between a boy and a little girl who happens to have down syndrome. Charlie embraces the differences and allows Isabelle to be herself and even lets her teach him a thing or two. I appreciate that the book doesn't mention her disability, because a disability shouldn't define who you are. Despite disabilities, children are just children.

This is a story about two children, Charlie and Isabelle. Charlie knows that Isabelle is different, yet he still enjoyed playing with her as he does with any other kid that is "normal". This a great a great book for younger child to use to learn about acceptance for other children that have disabilities. In this case, Isabelle has down syndrome and they are helping make the world a better place by tolerating each other and accepting their differences.
