About the Product

The Down Syndrome Superhero series is about a Down Syndrome teenager, Josie, her Shih Tzu Zeke, a feisty hummingbird, and her mysterious neighbor, Cilantra. Josie’s DNA is activated when she finds a talisman that opens a portal above her town. She can suddenly communicate with earth, with the help of a talking hummingbird and her powerful chromosome 21. She soon realizes their town is in danger from being attacked by a malignant species called Sashima/Sashimi. The series highlights Josie’s crew and their plight to cross dimensions, universes, and hidden lairs to release earth from Sashimi’s terrible grasp. The Down Syndrome Superhero 3 is in production and slated for a 2022 release in the U.K. and U.S.
