The book is divided into three parts:
Part 1 is Marianna’s story as a graphic novel. (For children)
Part 2 is the parents’ story presented in personal narrative format. (For grown-ups)
Part 3 is an opportunity for the reader to engage with thoughtful questions. (For educators)

The first book in the series is called Let’s Go Swimming. Marianna loves to go swimming with her dad. Together they enjoy a pleasant routine that builds strength and keeps her healthy. It was not always like that, and it takes a lot of work to keep a positive attitude.

In this book series, my daughter Marianna is the main character. She is an energetic girl with Down syndrome who loves getting up every morning to do activities she enjoys. Her positive outlook has a lot of challenges - both personal ones and ones created by her surroundings.
