Joanna. A Story of Love

Luca, a seven-year old boy, is told by his parents that he will have a little sister. But his joy turns into worry when he finds out she will have Down Syndrome. At first, he thinks it is a gift that only she has and is sad that he does not share the condition with her. Written in a funnily delicate manner, the book explains Down Syndrome to children and features the super-power of the persons who live with it: a huge capacity to love unconditionally and to give. “JOANNA. A Story about Down Syndrome” is part of the collection “Every Life Is a Gift”. The collection teaches children to treasure each human life as a unique gift from God for the new person and for humanity.
