OWENSBORO, Ky. (AP) Puzzle Pieces Executive Director Amanda Owen and Public Relations Director Ashley Wedding have partnered to create a book series that will help children communicate and interact with individuals around them who have disabilities.
“Owen the Wonderer and the New Kid in Class,” which was released on World Down Syndrome Day on March 21, is centered around a young boy named Owen and his curiosity about McKenzie, who is a new student with Down syndrome.
Amanda Owen said the book will help children learn how to ask the right questions and interact with others around them who have disabilities.
