Jana has just learned how to put her socks on all by herself.
Jana also happens to have Down syndrome.
To celebrate her new skill, she gets loads of brightly coloured socks as a gift.
What happens when Jana shows them to everyone at school?
Join Jana on a fun-filled journey as she discovers what it means to be a true friend and the real value of kindness.
This is a heart-warming and beautifully illustrated book that celebrates friendship and inclusion. It encourages children to embrace the differences and similarities within us.
Inspired by the author's daughter, Jana, who has Down syndrome, Jana's Brightly Coloured Socks teaches the values of curiosity and acceptance, friendship in diversity and the value of inclusion for everyone. Socks were deliberately chosen in this story to reference the extra chromosome in Down syndrome. Chromosomes are shaped like socks. Even though we all have chromosomes that make us who we are, we are still all remarkably unique.
