Reviews for Now I See

"A wonderful book, not just for new parents of a child who has Down syndrome, but for all parents. Now I See details personal accounts of individuals and their families, the lives they lead, and the love that their parents want you to know about. This is not just a resource about what it may be like to have a child with Down syndrome, it is an honest celebration that offers wisdom and experience from one parent to another.”

Sonia Bonadio - Family Support Manager Down Syndrome Victoria and parent.

"A beautiful, balanced resource for expectant parents deciding whether to access antenatal screening or afterwards, when processing a diagnosis."

Dr Alison Soerensen FRACGP

"A honest and inspiring account from real people's lives. Love this book and the hope it gives families that firstly, they are not alone and secondly, they can live full lives with just a little extra chromosome. Well written and highly recommend."

Jay Jeffries, mother of Tuscan, who has Down syndrome

"Now I See is the book I wish I had when my son with Down syndrome was born - honest, loving accounts from parents of children with an extra chromosome that bring hope and a sense of community to families just starting out on their own journeys."
