Camille the Hero
by
Sandra Marquis
Camille is bored and wants to do something, so her mom suggests she try being a hero. Heroes are always having adventures! Camille agrees this is a great idea, and she sets off to explore her street. But it turns out being a hero is hard when no one needs saving. As Camille looks for ways to help people in her own neighbourhood, she discovers there’s more to being a hero than putting on a cape, fighting bad guys, or even saving lives. Camille the Hero is the first book in the Tales of Twenty-Second Avenue series. Camille is a young girl with Down syndrome, and her story teaches children that they can all be heroes in their everyday lives—through simple acts of kindness.
Sandra Marquis, PhD, is an author, academic, and researcher with expertise in intellectual/developmental disability. She is also the mother of grownup Camille, who still knows how to be a hero. Sandra lives on Vancouver Island with her husband and cat.
