Melanie an Tommy visit

We have been talking a lot about acceptance in our class lately, so this visit was perfectly timed.  Tommy was always sad to see how others treated his sister when he was little.  That is why he, at age six, decided to write a book to help explained why his sister, who has Cornelia de Lang Syndrome, is different from those around her.
