This book introduces Down syndrome (also called Trisomy 21) in a way that young children can understand by relating it to their world. Through the story of a family of bears, children discover that each bear has its own unique set of instruction books. When a new baby bear has an extra copy of one of these books, it affects how the bear grows, learns, and develops.

Paired with 10 accompanying activity pages, this book offers children and caregivers a hope-filled framework for understanding Down syndrome, navigating questions and differences, and embracing the unexpected joys and new things they may discover along the way. Above all, it reminds children that every bear is uniquely made, deeply loved, and made with care.
