About the Author
Mia Armstrong is a SAG-AFTRA actress, model, and voiceover artist who once declared in a Good Morning America interview that Down syndrome is her superpower--and she's proving that to be true.
Mia's first feature film, A Christmas in New Hope, is streaming now. She has also starred in the Apple TV show Hello Jack, Muppet Babies, and Disney's YouTube series The Disney Princess Club. In her modeling work, Mia has appeared in ads for Tommy Hilfiger, Walmart, Target, Amazon, Walgreens, Samsung, Cheerios, Chase, and Nickelodeon. She made history as the first child with Down syndrome to voice a cartoon character on Netflix. Mia has appeared on The View, MSNBC, and The Tamron Hall Show. Mia is changing the way intellectual disabilities and differences are perceived as she fights for inclusion and against discrimination. Mia is a prolific artist who draws and paints daily, and her art has inspired Owtside The Box, an apparel company featuring the art of individuals with Down syndrome. Mia lives in California with her parents and brother. This is her first book. Alexandra Thompson is a Maine-based illustrator and author creating work for picture books, children's apparel, and magazines. She is also the illustrator of A Family for Louie and Ben & Emma's Big Hit."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
