I got this book for my daughter aged 4.Her brother was born with Down syndrome and I thought she would enjoy it .She loves bedtime stories and I thought it might provoke questions or anxieties she may have about her brother's disability .I loved the book and it's illustrations;very well put together ,I think she is a bit young to understand yet but I'm sure it will come out again and again.
