After reading a different story about a girl with Down syndrome to her daughter's preschool class, Sally says, \"The children were so engaged in the story and asked questions. They were very accepting and loving of their friend-my daughter. I left with a heart overflowing with emotion and that inspired me to write my story.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSocks were deliberately chosen in this story to reference the extra chromosome in Down syndrome. Chromosomes are shaped like socks. Even though we all have chromosomes that make us who we are, we are still all remarkably unique. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccompanying child activity and educational information sheets available on the author website: www.sallyfetouh.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 8.5 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 21, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42097085776007,"sku":"9780645421903","price":14.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/e1ae5ea00d3f8e3a831511943ec4a1ba.webp?v=1732348024","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/janas-brightly-coloured-socks-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
