Well, what is in a name? In the case of Beautiful Faces calendars, it's a wonderful description of the content. Produced by Cynthia Kidder and Band of Angels Press and photographed by Kendra Dew, the calendars feature soft, touching and sometimes humorous images of children and young adults with Down Syndrome. All models are dressed and posed in the most appealing way, it's hard not to fall in love with all of them.
Herself the mother of a son with Down syndrome, Cynthia works professionally to providing positive images and opportunities for all people with DS and other differing abilities. As she says, "I have never believed in anything more fervently than I do the fullness of life enjoyed by our children with Down syndrome. The driving force behind Beautiful Faces...is to place this image before everyday people as often as possible." The universal appeal of this image has resulted in the 1997 calendar being sold in all 50 states and on all seven continents, not only within the DS community, but also by the general public. Band of Angels Press also produces Joyous Faces notecards and Christmas Angels holiday cards. For information on price and ordering, call 1-800-963 2237 or face 1-248-377-0206.
