Different Just Like You

by Christy Perdue

This book helps children understand that it's okay to be different and helps them realize that being different isn't something negative. Amaya is an 11-year-old girl living with cerebral palsy. In this book, she recognizes her differences and points out that many of them are positive, just like many of yours might be, too. This is a book about acceptance, opening our eyes and hearts to those who are different from us, and recognizing that we are all different from one another and that's more than okay. One message from Amaya in this book is, "Don't worry about what others think, or if they laugh out loud. It shows who they really are, but kindness keeps you proud."
