Written by Eliza Woloson and illustrated by Bryan Gough, this book for young children captures the essence of a bond that is free of prejudice.
How I wish everyone can be like Charlie, the little boy in the book, who truly appreciates his friendship with Isabelle, the little girl with Down syndrome. Charlie sees their differences but doesn't let that get in the way of their friendship.
I think this world needs more Charlies.
Have you read it? What do you think?

Yes, we own it, LOVE IT!! I always would go to Adam's class and read that book and We'll paint the Octopus Red. Then we would talk about down syndrome, The kids were always great!!

we love this book too. We read it to Noah's kindergarten class on the first day of school.
We love this book! I, too, wish every kid had a Charlie for their friend. :-)
Great book! Have shared it with several of Lily's teachers and schools!
