Why Are You Looking At Me.....

I just learned of a new book by a mom of a young woman with Down syndrome:

                                  "Why are You Looking At Me?: I Just Have Down Syndrome"

It's a wonderfully simply story, with great illustrations that is as direct as the title.  I think this would be a great book to read to a class that has never had any interaction with someone with Down syndrome.  It only touches on some of the physical markers of Down syndrome that people may notice at first glance, but quickly turns to emphasize the similarities of people with Down syndrome to people without Down syndrome.
