World Down Syndrome Day according to Polly, an 8 year old with Down syndrome
World Down Syndrome Day is Saturday, March 21st
Did you know that Saturday (3/21) is the 10th Anniversary of World Down Syndrome Day? People all over the world are doing their part: speaking in classes, passing out brochures, posting about it on Facebook, to make sure the word gets out. People with Down syndrome are more like the rest of us than different.
My daughter Polly, 8 years old, explains Down syndrome…
Polly and I put together a little video to help celebrate! We’d so appreciate it if you would share it. In Polly’s words “Down syndrome just means you need a little extra help.”

And have you seen our book Sun Shine Down? I wrote this memoir about Polly’s birth and diagnosis of Down syndrome while we were living in Kiev, Ukraine.

Happy World Down Syndrome Day!
