About The Story
Belonging begins when we make room for one another.
A Paxton & Friends story about Down syndrome, friendship, acceptance, and finding your place.
When Lillianna moves to the country, she wonders whether her new community will accept her and whether she will be able to find the kind of friendships she hopes for.
As the story unfolds, the friends begin to understand that Down syndrome is only one part of who Lillianna is, and that getting to know someone is often the first step toward replacing uncertainty with understanding.
Lillianna Moves To The Country gives young readers an approachable way to talk about Down syndrome, inclusion, belonging, friendship, and the importance of seeing the whole person rather than a diagnosis.
