The Best Worst Brother

I would like to recommend a wonderful book called" The Best Worst Brother" by Stephanie Stuve-Bodeen. The book has bright and colourful pictures , fun, and easy to read for young children . I would suggest reading this book to Kindergartners or first graders as a great way to discuss and relate the story to their own experience or about anyone they know who has similar situation as the character in the story. It is a multicultural book that shows the relationship between siblings , especially if one of the siblings has down syndrome. As a reader of this book you will definitely enjoy read it to little children. This book is about love, caring, and understanding of others situations . It could be an excellent lesson of how to care and feel toward others problem. Also, it shows the meaning of the family and how they work so hard to assist their own son and create a positive atmosphere where he could learn from others with love.
