World Down Syndrome Day is just around the corner–on March 21–and to celebrate, a group of mothers made a video to show the love and good times they share with their kids, who have trisomy 21.

According to the description on YouTube, the inspiration for the Carpool Karaoke-esque video came from a similar video made by Singing Hands, which is an organization in the UK that helps parents and children with oral communication challenges learn a special form of sign language called Makaton.
