Book Review
ABCD is for Down

ABCD is for Down by Cindy Lasi

(Reviewed by Adam, dad to energetic twins Grace & Avery)

From the moment my girls and I opened ABCD is for Down, we knew we’d found a new bedtime favorite.  The book marches confidently through the alphabet, pairing each letter with rhyming couplets and bright, cartoon‑style illustrations that leap off the page.  At “C is for Computer,” my daughters giggled at the cow mooing from the monitor; a page later, “D is for Down syndrome learn about it and you’ll see that I’m a kid who’s just like you” sparked an earnest, wonderfully natural conversation about differences and similarities.

That right there is the magic of this book.  It delivers the same playful ABC structure kids already adore, but gently expands their worldview.  The main character is a cool, scooter‑riding kid who just happens to have been born with Down syndrome.  Because that fact is woven into the story rather than spotlighted in neon, young readers absorb the most important lesson effortlessly: every child can dream big, sneeze loudly, and conquer computer games, sometimes simply at their own pace.

As a parent, I appreciate three things in particular, the book’s ability to foster an inclusive normalcy, that it’s a conversation starter and its read-aloud rhythm.

ABCD is for Down ultimately succeeds because it doesn’t ask kids to admire a character with Down syndrome, it invites them to befriend one.  And in a children’s‑literature landscape still catching up on authentic representation, that simple act of friendship is powerful.

If you’re looking for a feel‑good ABC book that entertains, educates, and plants seeds of empathy, add this to your shelf.
