_Gifts 2, How People with Down Syndrome Enrich the World_ is a delightful collection of stories about ordinary individuals who happen to have been born with Trisomy 21, also known as Down's syndrome, and the impact they have had on the writers' lives. This would be a wonderful addtion to any library, doctor's office or early intervention center.
