My Thoughts on It’s Hockey Season

Ready for a great book?  It’s Hockey Season that lets you read about two brothers who both love hockey.  They’re not the same though.  One of the main differences is that one brother has Down Syndrome and that brings on its own little things that make the two different.  But love and playing hockey bring them together. 

Blaine is the team manager.  He has down syndrome but he doesn’t let it stop him from doing what he loves which is hockey.  His talent is keeping the team running so that they can keep playing.  His brother is Cullen who is the star of the team.  His talent is for playing hockey. 

This was a great book showing the talents of two separate brothers and some of the things they do in life.  It’s great for teaching kids how we are all different but all special.
