Authors Cynthia S. Kidder and Brian Skotko with photographer Kendra Dew have divided the book into sections: Artists, Children, Athletes, Brothers and Sisters, Learners, Friends, Angels, Actors & Dreamers, and Community Leaders. Each section has beautiful black and white photos with accounts of real children and tweens with Down syndrome and their interests and accomplishments.
