"You and I are alike in many ways. We may be the same age or live on the same street. . . . We are different from each other, too."

Simple words and lush illustrations draw children into this gentle story of discovery, acceptance, and affirmation.

This is diversity on their level: hair that’s straight or curly, families with many people or few, bodies that are big or small—each one unique but just right for that person.

Boys and girls discover that even though people are different, they can enjoy being together and learning about each other.

Important topics like talking, listening, feelings, and cooperation are explored in the most basic terms so even young children can grasp them.

The book ends with a wonderful declaration: Being “not exactly the same” is a reason to like each other.
