This book will help children:

• Love and accept themselves just the way they are
• Appreciate and celebrate other people's differences
• Build their self-confidence and self-esteem
• Nurture their tolerance, empathy and kindness

In her own heartwarming, hilarious words, Marnie, a spunky multiracial kindergartener, explores the concept of diversity. She finds that differences (e.g. race, size, accent, learning styles, ways of moving around) are only one part of a person's unique story.

This book is an engaging, interactive framework for parents and teachers to introduce that crucial conversation that will transform children's attitudes towards themselves and others.

This engaging, interactive picture book asks readers a series of heartwarming, hilarious questions alongside a quirky main character, and gracefully illustrates that the best friendships can be made when we love what's different (and the same) about each other.

"Being different doesn't make someone weird,

it just makes them different.

And be nice to them because, to them, you are different too!

We may seem so different... but deep down,

we're kind of the same."

"We're the Same, We're Different and We All Belong is one of the best books I've read about celebrating and respecting diversity. Everything about this book is top-notch. Marnie is a character that kids will immediately want as their friend. She is confident yet also vulnerable and engaging... The message of diversity and acceptance is woven expertly throughout the story. KayJay Miller has crafted a luminous character in Marnie. I hope to see her in future stories. As a retired children's librarian, I've read thousands of picture books, and We're the Same, We're Different and We All Belong is one of the best." ★★★★★ - Readers' Favorite
