Ai’s Classroom

02 Class One, Year Three

by Masaki Takakura

Ai Takeda is smaller than her classmates, not as strong, and can’t always do what they can. That’s because Ai has Down’s syndrome. But that doesn’t stop her from trying just as hard as everyone else. The author returns to Ai’s school, two years on from his first book, to see how school life has changed for her in this touching photo essay about the challenges and achievements all children go through at school.
