Adventure with a diverse group of children as they discover and celebrate that we all have more in common than we might think.
Sometimes the things that make us different can leave us feeling like a fish out of water. Take your child on this whimsical journey where each unique child works with the others to launch a giant colorful fish balloon. Along the way, the children learn to celebrate differences and uncover what they all have in common, so that even a "fish out of water" finds belonging.
Different Like Me by Xochitl Dixon features a wonderful variety of children with unique qualities. It is based on a story she wrote years ago to explain to her own children the beauty of God's diverse world. You'll also enjoy the engaging questions you can use to start conversations about diversity with the children in your own life.
In Different Like Me, you'll discover:
The beauty of diversity--cultural, physical, and more
Rhyming words and a repetitive refrain that capture kids' attention
Conversation-starting questions around the topic of diversity
A valuable addition to school, church, and home libraries
A perfect picture book for children 8 and under
