Review of Donny and Mary Grace's California Adventure

[reviewstostrangers]

It was wonderful reading how the Millers always had fun as family, and I loved seeing what unique bond and love they had for each other.

I absolutely agree with you. They were so loving for each other! It was a delight to read their daily interactions.

The review is wonderful, being down syndrome child is not easy to come by . But Donny is able to cope in this children's book.

Beautifully written and sensitive subject chosen by the author. Loved reading the book.
Nice review!

I love the plot of this book, as it centers on Donny and Mary Grace and Donny's gradual acceptance by Jason, who normally bullies him because he has Down syndrome. It would be a wonderful book to read.

I agree. It was dealt with gently and genuinely. Such behaviour does not come show up without a reason. Once that is identified, the world will be a better place:)

This book is both educational and informative. Congrats on making it to the book of the day.

Yes. It has lessons for kids and adults too. It is an amazing book. A sensitive issue dealt with in a humane way.

I'm already done reading this book. I can relate to Mary Grace when she leaves her beloved Wichita, Kansas City, and her friends. I love the idea of writing about things you like. I agree with your idea about the way the author handles the bully in the story.

How MG dealt with the bully was the best part. There was 1 teacher who used this shoebox idea in our class asking us to freely share whatever we wished to. I was reminded of her after reading this book.

I am currently reading this book, and I especially love the bond between Mary Grace and Donny. The book also is a light-hearted read that carries many life lessons for children. Great review.

True. It carries lessons for parents too. Spending some quality time and bonding with kids is as essential as food clothing and shelter. Also parents behaviour should be appropriate as children take cues from elders and think it is ok to behave a certain way or speak certain words.

I enjoyed this book so much more than I expected to. It is a wonderful tale with such valuable and positive life lessons.
