This book is about a little boy with down syndrome and his new baby brother. This book addresses how big brother Dustin is different and helps kids cope with this and grasp this idea.

Big Brother Dustin
Bryan O'Keeffe

This book was really great. There were a lot of good things about the book. The best thing was the author wrote the story in the point of view of Dustin who was a little boy with Down Syndrome. Not once was he portrayed as negative and in fact seemed to be a really cute boy.The illustrations of this book weren't really illustrations at all. In fact they were photographs that had be altered on a computer. I found that out by reading the back of the book. I think this style is unique in its own and makes this book that much different and better from other books. In fact I think it legitimizes the story a lot. I also found out that this story was actually real. Dustin and his family are real people. I loved the plot of the story and how Dustin kind of becomes the hero of the story. His mother is pregnant and they can not come up with a name for the baby. So Dustin is given the big task of naming the baby. This book is entirely positive which is why I recommend it to anyone. The message is really great as well, anyone can be a hero.

This book is amazing. What makes this book so amazing is that it is just like any other book one would find to introduce a child to a new sibling. People may look at the cover and say, "This book was meant for children with down syndrome" but this is not the case. Throughout the book, not once does it mention the older sibling having any type of down syndrome or autism despite the pictures showing clearly that the young boy has this. The book merely goes through all the things that parents and siblings might have to do to prepare for the child. What makes this so amazing is that it treats the young boy as any other sibling about to have a new baby in the family. This is a book that could be read to any young child about to have a new sibling. One thing I loved about this book is that there are no illustrations. Instead there are actual pictures (taken with a camera) of a family going through the act of preparing for a baby. This helps both the reader and the intended audience follow along with and become emotionally attached to the family and the story. The fact that it has pictures that include a young boy with down syndrome indicates that this book is very inclusive and does not treat those children with down syndrome any differently. The book's main purpose is to teach and explain to young siblings what having a new child in the house means for them as well as the rest of the family, regardless of who you are. ( )

“Big Brother Dustin” touches on the topic of Down Syndrome without drawing too much attention to it, which makes this a wonderful book for children to read. I love that the pictures included are real photographs of Dustin and his family. This makes the narrative very real, because the reader can see the actual family as they prepare for the new baby. It is also helpful to see what Dustin, who has Down Syndrome, really looks like, rather than an illustration. This book also pushes children to consider what Down Syndrome looks like within a family. Since the text was mainly focused on Dustin becoming a big brother, and not on the fact that he has Down Syndrome, the reader can see that having a disability does not have to be the defining characteristic of a person, and that they do not have to be treated any differently by their family. A big brother with Down Syndrome can still play with and care for his new baby sister. ( )

This book was unique compared to other book that I have read so far. It is a true story about a little boy named Dustin who is waiting the arrival of his little sister. The story is based off of the true story and shows actual pictures of Dustin preparing for his baby sister to come. I enjoy looking at these pictures because they are real life and clear. They give an accurate description of how some families prepare for a new baby to arrive. The pictures are clear and go along with the text on each page. I also liked the order in which the book went in. The book went in the order of which people usually prepare for a baby. The book also showed the baby at the bend of the book and Dustin holding the baby. ( )
