Honorable Mention, 2 Foreword INDIES Book Awards

amp quot Differences are highlighted to demonstrate that everyone has unique characteristics that make them special-a familiar yet reliable method. Langdo adds illustrations of friendly characters that complement the text well...a solid story to which readers will relate. amp quot -School Library Journal

amp quot The characterization of the dog and cat 'kids' is effective, and they will remind young readers of real kids they know. Their reactions, conversations with each other, and their ideas about the world feel true to real children....They are also very cute, and at times very funny, which will make this a relatable and enjoyable way for children to learn the lessons presented in the book. amp quot -Portland Book Review amp quot Jeanie Franz Ransom has written a clever and humorous story for young children about embracing the differences in each other. With the growing diversity in our country, this is a very timely book. The students in this story are curious and brutally honest with their questions to their new classmate, Samantha. They want to know if she eats mice, walks on a leash, wags her tail and uses a litter box or goes outside. The cast of characters are lively and learn about acceptance, tolerance and how to get along. Bryan Langdo amp rsquo s illustrations are colorful, expressive and tickle the imagination! I love the book cover. amp quot -Children's Books Heal

amp quot This sweet, funny and timely book offers a child-friendly excursion into the important issue of diversity. The story imparts the value of learning about, accepting and celebrating each other amp rsquo s differences. Bryan Langdo amp rsquo s illustrations are lovely and expressive and allow for discussion about Samantha and the dogs amp rsquo feelings throughout the story. amp quot -Kid's Brain Plano
