Victoria's day ISBN: 9781845075712
Campos, Maria de Fatima
Published by Frances Lincoln, 2007
Victoria is a Down's syndrome child, and her mum is a professional photographer. We meet four year old Victoria as she goes through a happy normal day at home, at school, at ballet, shopping with daddy, and helping mum cook dinner. In fact, the emphasis here is that Victoria's day is just like any other four year old's. Victoria is highly photogenic, and her mother's pictures of her sparkle. The big print and splashes of colour from Victoria's own paintings add to a really lovely production. This will be particularly useful in schools where young children will learn without realising it that Down's children are like everyone else.
Age: 4+
