My Friend Isabelle - JLF Colorado: International Literature Festival

In a tender tale of shared joys and quiet differences, My Friend Isabelle explores the bonds between two young friends—one with Down syndrome, one without. A moving exploration of friendship through the eyes of Isabelle and Charlie, the narrative celebrates how stories of difference can become stories of belonging, resulting in visceral friendships. Eliza Woloson and Isabelle Woloson in conversation with Tania Katan.
