I Just Am: A Story of Down-Syndrome
By Bryan Lambke and Tom Lambke
Publisher Five Star Publications

Bryan Lambke is a young man with Down Syndrome. Using pictures from the family album, Bryan shares what it is like to have Down Syndrome and what being normal and having a disability means to him. Young children spend a lot of time organizing what they know and understand of their world. When they encounter unexplained differences, their curiosity leads them to stare or ask questions that can embarrass parents. I Just Am offers a close up look at one young man with Down Syndrome sharing both the things that make him different and also the multitude of things that make him like other boys. In addition, it has information sections that parents can use to answer any questions their children have. This is a terrific introduction to Down Syndrome.
