Accepting yourself and the world can be a struggle, for kids and even adults. Every single day people worry about their skin color, height and wonder if they are worthy enough to have a standing in the world. We are all Different, We are all Amazing is a great little book to help kids see the world as it is.
With the world the state it is in, there is such an immediate need to empower kids early to understand that they, and everyone around them has an equal right to be.
There are many books on diversity but there are few that can visually cover the diaspora of across the world and among people. The book is a great introduction for kids everywhere to see how different the world is.
The author Dilraz Kunnummal has done a great job of building her characters to reflect and give kids the worlds with which they can create affirmations every day.
Each page is a standalone vista of the beauty of the world. Ideal for kids aged 3 through 8, this book is great for repetition and leading much needed conversations with children early. Conversations about body positivity, racism, colorism etc can be led in age-appropriate ways with kids. The questions in the end help deeply with this.
A special note of the vivid illustrations that capture the joy within this world that we live in.
