America According to Connor Gifford

August 20, 2008 on 11:26 am | In Down syndrome, Books |

Last night I finished reading one of the books I bought while at the NDSC convention in July, “America According to Connor Gifford.” Definetly a must read! I couldn’t put it down!

It’s written (and illustrated) by a young man who just happens to have Down syndrome, Connor Gifford with the help of Victoria Harris, and is about Connor’s view of America clear back to when the pilgrims arrived until present time.

I had the opportunity to meet Clifford and Victoria at the convention and they even signed my book!

  2. We have the book as well and really enjoyed his take on history. I found it interesting that Ben Stiller’s parents provide some of the praise for the book on its very first page. Guess the apple really can fall far from the tree!
