I Am a Masterpiece!

I Am a Masterpiece!
by Mia Armstrong (Author) and Alexandra Thompson (Illustrator)
@ Amazon* | Bookshop*

Booktalk: Mia likes many of the things other people like–going to the beach, the color blue, drawing. But she doesn’t like when strangers stare at her because she looks different from them.

Down syndrome allows Mia to see and understand the world in a way that may not make sense to others. She considers it her superpower–and instead of it making her strange, she considers herself a masterpiece. As we all are.

Snippet: I know people aren’t used to seeing someone like me. I tell them, “Don’t whisper. Don’t look away. Do say hello.” I have Down syndrome and I like myself exactly the way I am. I just want people to be nice to me and to like me for who I am, too.
