Reader Reviews

This book changed my life in a matter of minutes. I am a 23 year old mother of a 9 month old baby boy that has down syndrome. I have come to realize that my son was an absolute gift. He was meant to be ours and we were meant to be his...this book gave me the extra inspiration that I sometimes need. When I get discouraged, I just read a few pages of this book and I instantly feel refreshed! This is a must have for parents of children with down syndrome-the sooner you read it and listen to the beautiful song, the better!

As a chaplain of a hospital with 65 neo-natal intensive care beds, I bought this book looking for inspiration I could share with parents as they faced something totally unknown to them before. I was not disappointed. The stories are varied, but each one timely and can be regarded as reminders to each reader that there is a creator that never makes mistakes and can challenge each one of us to be looking for gentle blessings in all of creation. I look forward to using this book with the staff and the parents I have the privilege to work with every day and be a witness to God's miracles that don't stay hidden.

To read this book is like sitting around a table of your peers and to finally realize that your feelings of love mixed with grief are not unusual or wrong. What a wonderful way to teach you that your special child was chosen to be yours, because you too are special or why else would God allow you to care for such a special gift with such a sweet spirit. We love our Anna and this book helped us to see what a very special gift she is and how lucky her dad, her twin sister and I are to have her in our lives.

As the mother of a special child, this book touched the depths of my soul. How heartwarming it is to realize that other parents view themselves as blessed by God to have the opportunity to experience the "hidden miracles," even if for a short period. I recommend this book to anyone who is struggling for understanding.
