The Prince Who Was Just Himself Summary

The Prince Who Was Just Himself by Silke Schnee

The royal couple is looking forward to their third child. He looks a little different, muses the king at Prince Noah's arrival. He is not like the others, agrees the queen. Soon they notice what a very special person he is, even though he can't do everything his brothers can.

When the youngest prince disarms the cruel knight Scarface, the nation's most dreaded enemy, with an act of compassion, everyone finally realizes how good it is that each person is unique.

This delightfully illustrated fairy tale for children three years and older instills appreciation for children with Down syndrome and other developmental challenges, making it a valuable aid for teaching tolerance in the home or classroom.

The Prince Who Was Just Himself Reviews

A gentle fairy tale about a young prince with Down syndrome who saves his kingdom from a menacing knight.... [It] offers a special needs child in a positive, starring role and can be read simply as a satisfying fairy tale.... The author, herself the mother of a child with Down syndrome, and the illustrator ably introduce a difficult subject in a fictional context with a light, sure touch. -- Kirkus Reviews
A new children's fairytale . . . demonstrates how great it is to live in a world where everyone looks and acts differently from one another. Though Noah doesn't have the same abilities as his brothers, his parents soon realize how wonderful he is in his own way. And when the new prince defeats the kingdom's worst enemy with a simple act of kindness, everyone else sees it too. -- The Mighty
