“Why did God give me a brother that is different? That’s not fair. I’ve waited so long for a brother to play with, and now I get one that has something wrong with him.” Philip swallowed hard and began to cry. He felt like pushing Nathaniel away.
“Philip,” Mama began in her gentle voice, “we don’t understand, but God knows we have plenty of love to offer Nathaniel. I am sure you will enjoy patiently teaching him to do new things because you love him. You will be a special big brother to a special little boy!”
The story of Philip and Nathaniel is written to help children understand children with Down Syndrome and to appreciate them as God’s special children.
