Gifts: Mothers Reflect on How Children with Down Syndrome Enrich Their Lives

Edited by Kathryn Lynard Soper; Woodbine House, 2007; $18.95; www.woodbinehouse.com.
Gifts celebrates the lives of those with Down Syndrome (DS) and gives insight, hope and encouragement to new parents of children with DS and their families. Sixty-three moms candidly describe their journey through the distress, fear, challenges and joy of raising their children. This book is important for all parents to read – so that we may appreciate and encourage the amazing potential inside each child, and teach our children to do the same.

"My son has taught me … that the value of a life, of a human, of a child, is measured not by how much he or she can accomplish, but how much he or she can teach others about what really matters."
– Janine Steck Huffman, essay in Gifts
