 This book is about a little boy name Pablo Pineda who was born with Down Syndrome. His parents wanted to raise him as a normal child they taught him at home before he started schooling. They send him to ordinary school. Pablo Pineda continue to High School and he graduated and receive a prize for being the best student of the year. He continues to University even though it was getting harder and harder for him but he never gives up. He graduates from University and become the first Down Syndrome person in history to graduate from University.

I like this book because it is a real story that shows real life situation. it has a great theme that the students of any age can learn from it. The moral of the story is applicable into the student’s lives because he was a student.  I like how the illustration is very colorful and in every page of the book has an image relate to the text. It helps the reader imagine the story as they read. This book is worthy to read by the students and even disabilities student because it can motivate them.
