Someone Special, Just Like You

by Tricia Brown, Fran Ortiz (Photographer)

Overview

Brown and Ortiz show that the differences that seem to separate children with handicaps from others are not important. What is important is the common delight in life—a desire to love, learn and play, and to be accepted for themselves as other children are.
