Product Description
Melody is an amusing ten-year-old girl with Down syndrome who loves to daydream beneath a catalpa tree in the backyard. She narrates her story and explains, "I can do almost everything other children can do, and I'm happy." She loves her teacher, going to the library, and playing with her little brother as he tells knock-knock jokes. After a sad day, she meets an enchanted talking bird, and they use a 3-D printer to create a flying machine pulled by two dragons. She soars over the playground to amaze her friends and confront a group of bullies. Melody's energetic talent in storytelling empowers her to educate others about Down syndrome while sharing her tall tales and strong hugs. Caroline Zina's pencil illustrations are beautifully textured and shaded, with a magical quality that deftly matches the text. This positive story is a beginning chapter book for children ages 7 through 11.
Customer Reviews
This is a fun, happy and whimsical book that celebrates imagination. It is story about a sweet young girl, Melody, who is different from her classmates, not because she has down's syndrome, but because her imagination soars above the clouds. Her magic is her stories and willingness to find joy everywhere. It is a great book for children to learn how bullying can cause pain, but how love and acceptance can override that.Another important aspect of the book is that it educates about Down's Syndrome and will help children know how this occurs. It does this in a matter of fact way that enhances understanding. Understanding will hopefully decrease bullying.
