Description

Nick is a lovable character, a real boy growing up with the effects of Down syndrome, who lives with his parents, three sisters, and a brother on a farm in northern California. Having loving support from his family, Nick lives with a great zest for life. Inspired by a poem by St. Augustine, this story is about Nick, who becomes a keen observer of the beauty of God's creation and the goodness of a loving family.

From a little boy, whom his father once described as only two chickens high, he is growing into a young guy who clearly has great potential to live life creatively and with a sense of adventure.
