Down on the farm a down syndrome picture book…
Farms, animals, and children, is there a better combination? Down on the Farm is our new Children’s picture book featuring Down Syndrome, in a unique way.
You see, there is a twist. In this “Down on the farm” Down Syndrome picture book the book features 10 beautiful children who all have something in common, an extra chromosome. However, despite the children all having a genetic condition, the story has nothing to do with disability or even Down Syndrome, it simply showcases these beautiful children being children and having an adventure on the farm.
It was a beautiful sunny day in June, 2017 when I invited the children to a photo shoot that also included horses, ducks, bunnies, gardening, snacks and so many laughs. At the time my son, Cedar, was only 5 months old and it was quite emotional for me to see so many children with Down Syndrome in one place, it was the first time I ever had that experience.
I think that because Down Syndrome is rare, and we don’t see it that often outside of social media, we sometimes are uninformed about just how “normal” children who have Down Syndrome are. That means that we don’t know that they laugh, run, play, and get into mischief just like any other child. My hope with this book is to also inspire hope when parents get a diagnosis and they don’t know what their future is going to look like, they can see here that it can be just as wild and fun as if their child did not have a genetic condition. I also hope that for those who are not touched by Down Syndrome, this book will spark conversation about diversity. It will allow typical children to see that the same activities they enjoy are also enjoyed by children who may at first seem “different” to them.
