Publisher's Note
When Jamie Berube was born with Down's Syndrome in 1991, he was immediately subject to everything that surrounds every child our society designates as disabled. Here, Jamie's father describes the challenges and joys of raising his son. As he follows Jamie through his first four years of life, Berube evokes the sorrow and exhilaration of watching this loving child struggle for a place in the larger world.
When Jamie Bérubé was born with Down syndrome in 1991, he was immediately subject to themedical procedures, insurance guidelines, policies, and representations that surround every child our societydesignates as disabled. In this wrenching yet ultimately inspiring book, Jamie's father, literary scholar MichaelBérubé, describes not only the challenges of raising his son but the challenge of seeing him as a personrather than as a medical, genetic, or social problem.

Industry reviews
"[A]n astonishingly good book, important, literate, and ferociously articulated....If we dare to see this one child, Jamie, AS Jamie, we extend our imagination beyond old notions of the shelf, into who knows what new kinds of thinking about difference and otherness and the value we place on human life."
New York Times Book Review - Beverly Lowry (10/27/1996)

"This important book deals with a wider subject than its title suggests....[It] does indeed describe Jamie's tortuous mental and physical progress and his parents' efforts to provide him with love, medical care and an appropriate education. But...Berube wants to 'represent' his son's claims against those who...would deny Jamie a chance to learn enough to represent himself."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Michael Harris (10/27/1996)

"An engaging personal account of raising a son with Down's syndrome, by a loving father for whom the experience raises serious questions about the nature of social justice, natural rights, and our obligations to one another."
Allen 

"Part of the greatness of Berubé's story is how much he and his wife are resolved to make Jamie a person and...and the narrative becomes an extraordinary one of inclusion..."
Bloomsbury Review - Reamy Jansen
