At John’s Crazy Socks, we believe in showing the world what people with differing abilities can accomplish. That’s why we’re so excited to share that our co-founder and Chief Happiness Officer, John Cronin, has been featured in a powerful new book, Down Syndrome Out Loud by Melissa Hart.
This inspiring collection shares true stories of determination and achievement from over 20 individuals with Down syndrome who are breaking barriers and changing minds. From film to fashion, from athletics to entrepreneurship, the book highlights people who are doing incredible things, and John is among them.
“I am so grateful to be featured in the book, Down Syndrome Out Loud,” said John. “This book shows the great things people with Down syndrome can accomplish. People will love reading this book.”
John’s story stands alongside friends like actress Jamie Brewer, artist Grace Key, Ironman athlete Chris Nikic, champion swimmer Karen Gaffney, and business owner Alison Fogarty. Each story is a reminder of the power of inclusion and the importance of believing in people.
Melissa Hart, the book’s author, grew up with a brother who has Down syndrome and has spent her career telling stories that ignite empathy and inclusion. This book continues that legacy, showing readers—young and old—what is possible when we lead with love and believe in people’s abilities.
We invite you to check out Down Syndrome Out Loud and see why it’s being called “a must read” by the National Down Syndrome Society and “inspiring” by Special Olympics International. And when you do, don’t forget to stop by our shop. Every sock, every order, and every story is part of our movement to change the world—one step at a time.
You can find the book at your favorite bookseller including Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
