Just Like Mine (Only Different)

Many people like to say that we are more alike than we are different. While this is true in some ways, it's our differences that make us unique and make the world a diverse and beautiful place. These volumes celebrate diversity in many forms: body diversity, different kinds of families, and cultural diversity as expressed through the foods people eat and games people play. The gentle, uplifting text reminds readers that differences are a good thing, instilling self-confidence and respect for others. This is an essential collection for curious early learners.

Key Features of Each Volume:
• An illustrated narrator who serves as a guide through the text, introducing readers to the children in their class and then explaining what makes each child unique
• Accessible text that explains topics such as mobility aids, blended families, and dietary restrictions without talking down to readers or scaring them
• A bright and colorful design that combines photographs, illustrations, and short blocks of text to appeal to beginning and reluctant readers
