About this listen
Tween actress Mia Armstrong celebrates her fun, funny, beautiful childhood living with Down syndrome in this debut picture book - adapted for audio.
Mia likes many of the things other people like--going to the beach, the color blue, drawing. But she doesn't like when strangers stare at her because she looks different from them.
Down syndrome allows Mia to see and understand the world in a way that may not make sense to others. She considers it her superpower--and instead of it making her strange, she considers herself a masterpiece. As we all are.
In this spirited audiobook, Mia offers a glimpse into the life of a child with Down syndrome, helping some readers see themselves in a book and helping others understand those friends, classmates, and family members who are neurodivergent.

"Thompson’s delicate pencil and gouache renderings amplify the emotion that infuses the text’s vision of external patience and self-love."—Publishers Weekly
"A touching and unique story about accepting oneself and others."—School Library Journal
