I Am Different, Just Like You: A Heartwarming Story About What Makes Us All the Same Inside (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798275951264)

Children notice differences early in life.
Some get confused by them.
Some feel shy because of them.
Some are treated differently because they move, look, learn or communicate in their own way.

If you have ever wondered how to help a child understand differences with clarity, kindness and confidence, this story gives you the perfect tool.

A child who feels "different" may hide parts of themselves.
A child who does not understand others may draw back or say the wrong thing.
Both situations create fear, silence and distance.

Every parent and teacher knows how quickly these moments can shape a child's self-esteem.
The good news is this: understanding grows fast when the right story is placed in their hands.

This picture story book brings children into Harmony Hill, a warm town where four kids explore what makes them unique.
Milo walks with a blue brace.
Luna has blended skin tones.
Omar's mind works in patterns.
Tia dances by feeling music through her feet.

Their teacher introduces something simple yet powerful.
Each child shares what makes them different.
Each child discovers they are more alike than they ever imagined.
