Default Welcome to Holland


This is old but someone sent it to me the other day.

I read up on the author of that and she has been a writer on Sesame Street since 1970 and had a kid with Downs Syndrome in the 70's, which she wrote this about. She was the inspiration behind the special needs kids and characters on the show.
