Great book even for the chromo cuties Even though I loved the artwork I previewed, I was a bit hesitant to buy this book because my daughter has a rare chromosome disorder that may immensely impact her life… to the point where she may not walk, talk, or be a functional, independent adult. I was afraid this book would focus on “the wonderful things you will be,” as in particular careers, activities, or things that required a lot of ability. Much to my delight, this book instead focuses less on specific activities and more on being kind, loving, adventurous, creative–things my daughter could still be, despite any limitations and obstacles she may face. This book emphasizes being UNIQUE, not necessarily being “able.” I really appreciate that. This book makes me cry because I don’t know what will happen to my daughter (nobody does–because her condition is so rare), but I love her and she is wonderful, and this book lets her know that!
Buy it! Buy it! Great for all ages! My 3.5mo loves it when I read “The Wonderful Things You Will Be” to him! From cover to cover, this story is amazing and the artwork is beautiful! Highly recommended!
