"Welcome to Holland" is an essay, written in 1987 by Emily Perl Kingsley, about having a child with a disability. The piece is given by many organizations to new parents of children with special needs. The essay, written in the second person, employs a metaphor of excitement for a vacation to Italy that becomes a disappointment when the plane lands instead in Holland. The metaphor is that the trip to Italy is a typical birth and child-raising experience, and that the trip to Holland is the experiencing of having and raising a child with special-needs. In the end, however, the reader sees that the "trip" is still well worth it: In 2004, Will Livingston wrote a song loosely based on the story, also titled "Welcome to Holland". ==External links== * ("Welcome to Holland" on our-kids.org ) * ("Welcome to Holland" music ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Welcome to Holland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
