We Are the Same serves as a colorful and engaging read for children, focusing on topics such as race and diversity, but in a way that young readers can relate. Children have a beautiful innocence that, at some point, is exposed to the sometimes-cruel reality of this world. As they start noticing that we may look different from each other, it helps remind them that deep down we are all the same and should be treated equally. Ultimately, We Are The Same showcases that through acceptance and inclusiveness, we can come together with our differences and create beautiful friendships.
One of the books my son (two years old) makes me read over and over. He adores this book, which is about how everyone is different and the same. My son loves the fact that the book belongs to him - page allows your child to write his/her name.
