21% off Sale in honor of DS Awareness Month
Down syndrome Awareness Month is coming in October!
October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the abilities, achievements, and unique contributions of individuals with Down syndrome. Spreading awareness is crucial because it breaks down misconceptions and promotes a message of love, acceptance, and inclusion. People with Down syndrome are incredibly capable, bringing joy, strength, and diversity to our communities. They have the same dreams, talents, and potential as anyone else, and it’s essential that society sees and supports them for who they are. By spreading awareness, we foster a culture where everyone is valued and included, reminding the world that love and acceptance can create a brighter, more unified future for all.
ALL SALES ON AAC PRODUCTS HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR LILLY’S VOICE
October is AAC Awareness!
AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) tools are essential for empowering individuals who have difficulty speaking to express themselves effectively. Communication is a basic human right, and AAC provides a voice to those who otherwise might struggle to share their thoughts, needs, and emotions. By offering a wide range of options—from simple picture boards to advanced speech-generating devices—AAC enables people of all abilities to connect with others, fostering independence, inclusion, and a sense of belonging. Making AAC available ensures that every individual can communicate in a way that works best for them, breaking down barriers and creating a world where every voice is heard and respected.

Welcome to Holland
by Emily Perl Kingsley
I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this...... When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It's all very exciting.
After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, "Welcome to Holland." "Holland?!?" you say. "What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy." But there's been a change in the flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay.
The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a different place.
So you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met.
It's just a different place. It's slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you've been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around.... and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills....and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.
But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy... and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say "Yes, that's where I was supposed to go. That's what I had planned."
And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away... because the loss of that dream is a very very significant loss.
But... if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things ... about Holland.

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do custom orders?
In a way, yes! I do custom co-branded bulk orders! You choose which Littlest Warrior Design goes on front (most popular are Advocate Like a Mother or ASL Be Kind) and your company logo/design goes on back. The tees are shipped to you and you can sell them however you like: in person at events or on your website.
Order minimum: 25 tees
All bulk orders come from my screen printer.
Designs are printed on Bella + Canvas tees.
Designs with more than one color are an additional fee.
Shipping fees are extra and depend on destination and weight. Orders take about 3-4 weeks.
Please reach out to me for a bulk order price list at michelle@littlestwarrior.com
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes!
How much is shipping?
Shipping is calculated by weight, so it depends on what size shirt and how many you buy.
How long does shipping take?
All of our products are custom made for you :) Once you place your order, the fulfillment center (that runs M-F) starts working on your order. They order the blank tee and then add the design you chose. This process can take up to a week, then it can take up to a week to be delivered to you. Depending on how fast the center is running and how efficient our postal service is, you could get your tee in a week. So 1-2 weeks is the short answer.
Can I pay for faster shipping?
I wish I could add more than one option for shipping, but the fulfillment center only uses first class shipping.
How do you choose who gets your monthly donations?
Each month I donate 10% of sales to a non-profit dedicated to helping children with a disability or to a family adopting. You will need to have an active Instagram account so my followers/customers can see where a portion of their sale is being donated to. There have been several IG scams where the organizer pockets the money and I want to stay above reproach :) If you would like your non profit or family to be added to the list, please email me at Michelle@littlestwarrior.com
Do you take returns?
Unfortunately, no. Each item is printed on demand which means it's custom order. I have no way of reselling the item and if you ship it back to my fulfillment center, they will send the item to goodwill. Please make sure that you choose your size and color carefully.
My package says it was delivered, but it's not in my mail box or on my doorstep. What should I do?
99% of the time the mail person accidentally gave it to a neighbor. Please ask your neighbors. If that doesn't work, please reach out to your local post office with the tracking number. They will be able to help you. Littlest Warrior is not responsible for lost or stolen packages.
I can't find (fill in the blank) shirt. Are you sold out of it?
All of our products are custom order so we do not sell out. We have a ton of designs now so finding one on the website can be a challenge. Here are some tips: If you click on "Shop" in the top menu, everything is in alphabetical order and we also have a search option too located in the upper right hand side.
My child has a super rare diagnosis, can you make a Warrior tee for her/him?
I so wish I could make a Warrior tee for every diagnosis out there. I currently have about 50 warrior tees on my to do list. At this time I’m not adding anymore. We do have a Rare Warrior tee though if that’s something you’d be interested in. Thanks so much for understanding.
