A Great Book for a New School Year

Instilling Appreciation for Children with Developmental Challenges

Elena Noble, MPT | August 2016

Prince Noah is back in time for the start of a new school year. His second appearance on our blog heralds the sequel to the well-loved fairy tale The Prince Who Was Just Himself, a story about a child with Down syndrome unwittingly disarming a palace enemy through natural gifts of compassion and curiosity.

In the delightfully written Prince Noah and the School Pirates, Noah continues to be himself, joining with other children to show that every child is important and diversity an asset.

A good friend of mine, Iris Albertz (also with Down syndrome), presents the book in this must-see trailer.

Find out more about the book Prince Noah and the School Pirates.
