Our Daily Bread for Kids Presents Different Like Me, (Hardcover)

Different Like Me is a delightful celebration of childhood! The rhyming text worked well, with an appropriate number of words on each page. The themes celebrated the sameness and differences of everyone: We have much in common like shared emotions and experiences, yet we are all unique and special in our bodies, our interests, abilities, and disabilities. The artwork was well done, and fit perfectly with the text. It was friendly, inviting, and delightful, using natural colors. The children in the story reflected different skin tones. Children with disabilities were represented-one who was blind, another in a wheelchair, and another who uses a service dog. The illustrations portrayed the children happily participating in many traditional, favorite pastimes. This is a lovely children's book that will be a family favorite. Its intent is to celebrate all of our differences, but I enjoyed it as a book to celebrate childhood. I highly recommend it. I received an e-ARC pf this book from the author, through Celebrate Lit, for review purposes. The thoughts expressed here are my own.

I was excited to read this book because it is exactly what we need right now. A positive look at children they may look different but are all the same. The illustrations are beautiful and easy to keep a child's attention. I love the way the story rhymes and is easy fir children to follow along. The message is simple yet the World struggles as different to some mean not as important. We all hurt, laugh, play and love the same regardless of the color of our skin. Some may have disabilities but they are the same as everyone else. The book is a great tool to use to teach children that we are all the same. I loved how the author includes children wearing glasses, in a wheelchair, or other differences all playing together. Children are innocent and dont judge others because they may look or act differently. I would recommend this book to every parent, grandparent, church, daycare and school. I will be purchasing a copy of this book for my grandchild. The author includes questions at the end of the book for parents or teachers to use to discuss the lesson taught in the book. Come experience a group of children having fun together as they make friends and experience the message that God loves us. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
