Out into the Big Wide Lake por Paul Harbridge
From Kirkus: "The book follows a young girl with Down syndrome who takes her first solo trip to visit her grandparents."
Kate is a young girl who had a neurological disability. She visits her grandparent's lake house. There are many chores that must be done at her grandparent's home, when Kate completes these chores with her family, she builds her confidence and independence.
I know that the story is probably set in Canada, but to me it was just so Northern Wisconsin or Minnesota. Kate has a disadvantaging condition but is able to read and learn, and all of her limbs and senses work. Grandma and grandpa bring her to their home and know that she can learn to help with the grocery deliveries on their lake and thereby gain a stronger sense of herself. And so she does! The story is simply written and with great sensitivity. The illustrations are equally basic but intrinsically beautiful. Altogether this is a great book for readers to donate to their local public library once they have shared it at home!

This book is something special. I think the dedication/introduction helps bring the story to life so be sure not to miss it.
