Members Reviews:
One of my favorite stories as a child.
When I was younger my grandmother bought me this book. I loved how it showed so many different people with different background and diversity. Unfortunately, it got lost over the years so I decided to buy it for myself and to use in my classroom. The only downside is the page is missing the Braille markings that are supposed to be in the book on the elevator page... I do not know if is my purchase or if others will be without it as well.
Great lesson for young kids
This book was recommended by the FIRST Foundation. The lesson is perfect and written in a way that young children can easily understand.

Different Just Like Me
I had an opportunity to read Different Just Like Me and was so touched by the author's spirit towards diversity of all people, shapes, colors, conditions, and ailments. This is a wonderful starter book for preschool to young elementary aged children to put language to difference, and to begin awareness to how being different and unique... is really what we're all about. Each page has a new element, be it Braille, sign language, explanation of fruits and vegetables - and makes connections between the differences in each. Wonderful work!
