Being Different

Being Different is an illustrated children's book. It was designed to address issues of identity, appreciating differences, and inspiring tolerance. While the language was crafted in simple terms so that any child can read it, the psychology behind it is fairly sophisticated. Moreover, the appendix, called Parental Proverbs, can even enhance a parent’s understanding of these issues, and how they might help their children deal with potential concerns. Obviously, young minds are very impressionable. Hence, maintaining a healthy self-image is crucial during early development. This book considers: body types, gender, age, ethnicity, personality, talents, interests, hobbies, handicaps, infirmity, etc. The path to self-love is paved with esteem for others. For it is by accepting the uniqueness of others that we lay the foundations for self-respect and our own individuality.
