Illustrated by
Pam DeVito.
When young Emma learns she'll have a new sibling soon, she thinks of all the activities she can do with the baby. But when her brother Isaac is born with Down syndrome, her father explains that she can probably do all of the activities she had planned, but that Isaac might require more time, patience, and help to do them. Unremarkable illustrations accompany the story, which focuses on portraying Isaac as a baby, rather than a baby with Down syndrome. Information about Down syndrome is appended.
