SOPHY'S STORY is a series of photographs and captions designed to engage young and special needs readers with moments they can relate to such as: looking for presents under a Christmas tree, making a mess with muddy paws, sitting on mom's lap and wanting to sit in the front seat of them car (but having to sit in the back). When April Kihlstrom could not find any books appropriate for her adult son with Down Syndrome, she decided to create her own. SOPHY'S STORY is the first in what will be a series of books meant to be particularly accessible for special needs children, teens and adults and at the same time delight children of all ages and capabilities.

A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
