| • | ...from Down Syndrome News:"Some scenes will make you cry, others will make you laugh. All in all, it's a picture of life full of surprises, challenges and joy." | | • | ... from Video Librarian, March/April 2008:"An uplifting story (in more than one sense), winsomely told." | • | from Educational Media Reviews Online: "Technically the film is very strong, the camera angles, original music and editing helped maintain my interest. The story moves quickly and answers the questions that come to mind about these two lives...Because the film has such human-interest appeal, and deals with some universal themes it will appeal to a wide audience and can be useful in many ways." |
