Max Elliott was born with Down Syndrome. His mother, Mary Elliott, is on a loving crusade to help children and adults realize that Max is really just like them. They don't need to be afraid of Max because he looks and acts differently. He is smart, kind, funny, and gentle. He loves sports and spending time with other children. Hi, My Name is Max! is a delightful teaching and learning book for all ages. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book goes to the development of the Max Wade Academy, where other children like Max can play, learn, and excel.
