Oak Harbor father writes children's book about Down syndrome
OAK HARBOR, Ohio — An Ottawa County father has published a children’s book inspired by his 6-year-old daughter to help young readers understand Down syndrome. Jason Ribby’s book, Maizie the Down Syndrome Diva and the Search for Her Extra Chromosome , introduces kids to Down syndrome — typically associated with an extra copy of chromosome 21 — as she searches for the chromosome that makes her unique. Readers can join the hunt for balls, bubbles, and a Down syndrome ribbon. “I wrote the book to celebrate Maizie and to help children understand Down syndrome in a simple, positive way,” said Mr. Ribby, of Oak Harbor. The book, published in August, offers families a cheerful starting point for celebrating differences and talking with children about Down syndrome. Colorful illustrations and gentle humor encourage kindness, confidence, and inclusion. “I wanted it to be bright, fun and engaging, with rhymes and little things to find, so kids could learn while enjoying the story,” he said. The book is available at a.co/d/00340Rmu .
