What If We Were All The Same!: A Children's Book About Ethnic Diversity and Inclusion Paperback – November 5, 2019

Although this book was written for elementary age children, my 4 year old granddaughter was very intrigued. This well written book about difference’s and kindness was a great introduction to inclusion. We focused on similarities and differences and friendship. My gd also enjoyed the stickers that came with book, they sparked curiosity about how the children could still play together dispute some differences.

I read this book before I gave it to my grandchildren and I just LOVED the message. Then my 12-year-old grandson read it to my 10-year-old granddaughter and they both told me they enjoyed it very much. Because the message is so clear, I donated a copy to their school's Kindergarten class because one is never too young to understand the joy of inclusion and the privilege of choice.

“What if we were all the Same” is a well written picture book by C. M. Harris and beautifully illustrated by Ashlynn Feather. Being unique is celebrated throughout this amazing book. This is a deep message for all ages. I highly recommend this book.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I read this book to my first grade class to teach them about diversity. It had such wonderful examples how not everyone looks the same! They loved it and really grasped the concept that everyone is beautiful

I highly recommend this easy to read story for all children. As an educator and coach, this story supports the message we want children to hear - Everyone is unique and deserves love and respect (for self and others)! Thank you C.M. Harris for what you are putting out in the world. You are appreciated and valued!

It’s no surprise this book has won awards. It’s a great message about the value of our differences. It mentions various ways we all differ from each other. It ends with a reminder that none of us should feel sad about the ways we’re different from others. The artwork is high-quality.I’m not a great fan of books that rhyme; the rhyming in this book is OK but the meter is a little awkward in places. Overall nothing too bad.If I had one wish to take this book from good to great, it’d be this: I wish it drew a little more on our empathy. It’s one thing to say “everyone has value.” It’s another to make us think about people who receive messages to the contrary, and how we can help those people. Kids who’ve been feeling bad about themselves would resonate better with a character in their same situation. Kids who’ve been unaware of other people’s situations would learn to watch for those situations and help out.I like to end book reviews with a summary of who’d be the best audience for the book. In this case, this is a good book for all young kids. It is probably targeted slightly more at kids who’ve felt excluded. But the kids who’ve never felt excluded should hear these messages too.

Adapting to her personal challenges has given Charity a unique perspective. This perspective is articulated and, thanks to Eric, visualized on every page. One page is particu1ar1y special. Her favorite animal is there. Can you guess what it is? The content is thoughtfully presented, there are questions for musing, and rhymes that make sense. The message is positive, there is unity of illustration, and lots of smiling faces.What If We Were All The Same!, conveys a concise but powerful, universal message. Accept our differences for we are beautiful just the way we are. Its message is timeless and loaded with the potential to bring hope and to remind us of what is most important: love, acceptance, and respect.As the author’s father, I can say a lot more about her courage and resilience, but my favorite part is her Bio. It is a message of faith, hope, and charity. Proud father.

"What If We Were All The Same?" Is a great book that shows that our individual differences make us all special and unique. The writing was great and the illustrations were colorful and eye catching. I recommend this book to anyone with kids,grandchildren,nieces and nephews. It is a wonderful book for all ages!

I love this little book on diversity. We should all be grateful that we’re not created the same as robots. All of us need each other. A big five to the author.

Received in great condition. A good book to teach kids about diversity.

Firstly, I want to say how my 3yo little boy responded to this book, he says, all the children love each other! This is why everyone should have this book!Such a beautiful read, with very valuable lessons. 'What if we were all the same' discusses diversity in abilities and appearances, encouraging kindness and understanding. The book not only teaches children to embrace differences in others, but to embrace themselves and love their individuality.The writing and illustrations are friendly for all ages, the content is bright, colourful and easy to follow. My little boy loves the pictures and the humour of the book, no sweets!? The book also encourages discussing what's different and beautiful about the reader, which made for a fun activity after reading as my little boy got to talk about what makes him special and what's special about some of his friends.C. M. Harris shares her personal experiences at the end of the book and I believe the authors story is inspiring and heartwarming. This is a wonderful book and I want to personally thank the author. 100% recommend.

Bought this book for my 5 year old who was able to understand the message and read the story confidently. This is a fantastic book for any child and it celebrates diversity in an age appropriate way. Definitely recommend!

Great book to talk about diversity and the beauty of being different. My girls 5 & 8 loved it and got inspired to write their own version of the book.
