This joyful rhyming book encourages children to value the ""different"" in all people, leading the way to a kinder world in which the differences in all of us are celebrated and embraced.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER . This joyful rhyming book encourages children to value the ""different"" in all people, leading the way to a kinder world in which the differences in all of us are celebrated and embraced.

Macy is a girl who's a lot like you and me, but she's also quite different, which is a great thing to be. With kindness, grace, and bravery, Macy finds her place in the world, bringing beauty and laughter wherever she goes and leading others to find delight in the unique design of every person.

Children are naturally aware of the differences they encounterat school, in their neighborhood, and in other everyday relationships.

They just need to be given tools to understand and appreciate what makes us ""different,"" permission to ask questions about it, and eyes to see and celebrate it in themselves as well as in those around them.

Reviews for Different - A Great Thing to Be!

Each page of this book is a beautiful work of art. Macy can do many everyday things but sometimes she is a little quiet, and other times she is not. People don't always understand her, but with her bright heart, she manages to convince them that being different can be OK. A wonderful book to share with little ones, and open discussions about equality, kindness, being true to yourself and accepting others who are not exactly like you. Barbra Hesson, Calgary Herald
