Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever met someone with an EXTRA 21st chromosome? If you have, then you already know someone with Down syndrome.
But if you haven't met someone with this trait before today, please meet Zee Zee and learn what is different about her DNA.
But surprise! She's not as different as you might think. Zee Zee is a fun-loving and determined girl who can bake, dance, swim and even fly!
Often it is assumed that people with Down syndrome can't do what other kids do, but Zee Zee proves that with a little help and perseverance, she can do anything she sets her mind to.
This inclusive #1 best selling children's book is full of positivity and inspiration as Zee Zee shares her empowering story. It is a perfect introduction to Down syndrome for those who are unfamiliar or just want to learn more. Readers' Favorite gave this book a 5-star review!
It is a great education tool for typical kids, parents, parents with new babies who have Down syndrome, teachers, librarians, therapists, and doctors alike to help inform everyone that Down syndrome is not a condition to be feared but embraced, and even celebrated.
Zee Zee Does It Anyway is a fantastic introductory book on Down syndrome for children. It perfectly illustrates the wonderful quote by Carl Jung, "I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become." I love the positivity and can-do attitude that permeates this lovely book. Thanks, Zee Zee!
