Publisher's Synopsis
About the Book: This book with its color photography and brief stories of children with Trisomy 21 (more commonly known as Down Syndrome) shows the children as they are-beautiful individuals with all the character and uniqueness parents are proud of in their kids. While anyone can admire the beauty and sparkle of the wonderful children in this book we do hope that it raises awareness of the tremendous responsibility that falls on the parents of children with Down Syndrome. All profits from this book go to charities that help parents bear that responsibility. About the Author & Photographer: Kristina Bewley is the owner of Giselle Evelyn Photography Inc. It is named after her daughter, Giselle who was her inspiration for starting her own company. Giselle has Down Syndrome but it defines her about as much as her having hazel eyes, fluffy hair, and a silly laugh. Kristina and her husband (Matthew) dream of bringing her up in a world where anything is possible. And that is a lot of the inspiration behind Kristina's dreamy, whimsical, fairytale type style of photography... and for this book. While Kristina enjoys photographing anything and everyone, her favorites are children, babies, and special needs children. Aside from photography, she enjoys playing with her daughter, reading, eating Mexican or Japanese food, bargain hunting and antiquing. She attends the University of North Florida where she is majoring in Anthropology. Studying cultures is another one of her passions, and Kristina hopes that by having that degree and a minor in Fine Art, she can fuse the two loves together. She loves to volunteer her services to better the world and lives with Matthew and Giselle in Jacksonville, Florida.
