GIFTS: Mothers Reflect on How Children with Down Syndrome Enrich Their Lives

The Gifts Outreach program provides complimentary copies of Gifts to organizations which serve parents facing a new diagnosis of Down syndrome for their child, either prenatally or postnatally. We believe that the stories in the book provide a vital companionship and support for such parents.

Currently Segullah Group, the nonprofit organization which produced Gifts, is working in tandem with Woodbine House, the publisher, to provide a review copy of the book to appropriate organizations.

You can assist our outreach efforts by purchasing copies of Gifts and by promoting the book in your local area. Together, we can convince the world that the life of a child with Down syndrome is something to celebrate!

Please consider donating purchased copies to:

• Friends and family members
• Teachers and therapists
• Local libraries and schools
• Local hospitals and clinics
• Local Down syndrome support organizations

The following publicity materials are available as downloads:
