Book Description:
Celebrate the things that make us all different!
Each of us seem the same in many ways—we all have eyes, ears, noses, and hands. But those things are also what make us very unique from one another. Where one friend loves noodles, another friend may say, “Eww, no thank you!” It’s these differences that make the world—and each of us—more interesting. Mine make me ME, and yours make you YOU!
The world was made for us to play, learn, and dream. If we were all the same, how boring would that be?
My Thoughts:
I loved the way this book used the senses to show our differences. What looks, sounds, feels, tastes or smells good to one person makes someone else cringe. That’s made okay by the repeating the phrase if we were the same “how boring would that be?” At the end of the book, the author also included tips for parent to teach perspective. This is a fun way to teach kids an important lesson.
