I
received a copy of THE PRINCE WHO WAS JUST HIMSELF by Silke Schnee from Plough
Publishing House. This is a picture book
illustrated by Heike Sistig. The book
focuses on a prince who is born with Down Syndrome and saves his kingdom from
an evil invader.
At
first I wasn’t a fan of the illustrations.
They are similar to what a child would do, and to me it didn’t feel
professional. The more I looked at them,
however, the more I realized how well that works for children. It can help them feel better about their own
artwork.
The
story itself was sweet and family focused.
I can see it being perfect for a classroom or a home. I have passed this book onto my friend’s
sister for her to share with her special education class.
