- The Shape of the Eye ebook
George Estreich’s book The Shape of the Eye has just been published in paperback and e-book formats. Originally published in 2011, this memoir is a work of creative non-fiction written by poet and stay-at-home father George, exploring the arrival of Laura into the family.

Now that the book is available in new formats, consider asking your local library to purchase a copy - it is good to encourage public libraries to increase their resources about Down syndrome available to the general community. DS NSW does not currently hold e-books, but we do have a copy of the 2011 hard cover edition of The Shape of the Eye available in our library, for members to borrow.
