Tja, het was een ontroerend boek op punten, maar ik vond de art nou niet echt mooi. Het leek erg vaak alsof iemand gewoon over een foto had heen zitten tekenen. Ik had ook meer verhaal verwacht en minder een chaotische bundel van korte stukjes tekst, strips, tekeningen.
Dus ja, ik zou hem enerzijds aanraden (want mooi, lief, ontroerend), maar ook weer afraden vanwege hoe chaotisch het allemaal is.

This was a big window into a world that I have no experience with. Mallko was born with Down Syndrome. Dad wasn't ready for it. A quick read for parents of all types, for future parents, and for those of us who can develop more empathy.
A beautiful coming to terms with Down syndrome memoir. I was initially concerned because I'm a librarian and we have this in the children's area and in the first few pages Dad declares "I DID NOT ACCEPT HIM." This is followed by a scrapbook of Dad getting to know him, coming to love him and basically falling for his funny, sweet, busy guy. In the end, he says ""Accepting" is willingly and gladly receiving what we've been offered." A charming and heartwarming book.
mixed media GN about a father accepting his son who has downs syndrome. Very good, physically hard to read at points (there's a lot on every page, in several languages).
A beautiful tribute from father to son, but more art and less text than I was expecting.

3.5/5
This graphic memoir was a beautiful tribute to Gusti's son, Mallko, who was born with Down syndrome. The beautiful artwork and photographs help to capture the chaos that is the life of a family trying to navigate the world while caring for a child with downs, and its is simplicity reflects the message that Gusti tries to convey that all that he needed to give Mallko was love.
While Gusti's acceptance of Mallko came slowly, his wife and firstborn son's ability to unconditionally love Mallko helped teach him what it meant to accept and care about Mallko as a member of the family. And while every day poses individual challenges, the idea is that the reward stems from the bond shared between Mallko and his dad.
Readers who love graphic memoirs will be touched by this book, and those who are interested in reading more about families with downs children will appreciate the raw honesty this book conveys.
