Everything about it is inspiring. Children will enjoy the fun and clever rhymes, as they are drawn in by the bright and cheerful illustrations. It is one of those books that both children and adults can enjoy, as it delivers the perfect message to young readers. This story has effectively imparted an ever important lesson that individuality should be celebrated and not shunned. It encourages kids to accept and befriend those who are different from themselves. Showing young children that they don't have to look alike or enjoy doing the same activities to be kind to one another. When the author wrote this children’s book, she did so with one idea in mind. If we can instill positive messages, from a young age, about all the diversity our children will see in the world, we can help raise up compassionate and caring children. When children are raised to accept and embrace those who are different from themselves they are far more likely to be a friend than an adversary with their peers. This can lead to less bullying among children. And that is a beautiful thing. This charming children’s picture book could be the next Children’s Classic. It leaves readers with the message that: “You should always be kind to those who are different than you. Because to them, you are different too.” Imagine if all children read this story and learned this concept. We might be able to impact the world in a positive way while teaching early literacy at the same time. The book closes with a short survey for children about kindness. *Literary Titan 2019 Gold Award Winning Book - “The Gold Award is bestowed on books that we found to be perfect in their delivery of original content, meticulous development of unique characters in an organic and striking setting, innovative plot that supports a fresh theme, and elegant prose that transforms words into beautifully written books.” A few of the themes in this book include: Diversity, Kindness and Anti-bullying Review: Muito bom - Vidro didáctico muito útil, com texto simples e claro. Mensagem muito importante. Recomendo! Review: Simpel aber dafür auch easy für Kleinkinder zu verstehen... - Dieses Buch ist in sehr einfachem Englisch geschrieben und da wir einige Zeit im Ausland waren, hat es auch einen Platz in unseren Bücherregal gekriegt. Es sagt - manche Kinder sind klein, manche super groß. „Some are big and others thin.“ Dass die einen das gut können und die anderen sich vielleicht mehr für jenes interessieren - vor allem aber, dass wie dem auch sei, die bottom line ist, dass das alles okay ist. Dass nicht immer alles irgendwie als „besser“ oder „schlechter“ eingeordnet werden muss, sondern manches eben auch einfach nur „anders“ ist. Und vor allem, dass es nicht unseren Wert als Mensch bestimmt, ob wir nun gut im Rechnen, Instrument spielen oder sonst was sind. I love it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #225,679 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #92 in Children's Mindfulness & Meditation Books #136 in Children's Books on Cultural Studies #211 in Multicultural Stories for Children (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,978 Reviews | ## Images ![It's OK to be Different: A Children's Picture Book About Diversity and Kindness - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711hfvVLlPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Muito bom *by R***O on 13 October 2023* Vidro didáctico muito útil, com texto simples e claro.

It gives you a visual opportunity to discuss race and disabilities with your child. I change some of the words as I read this to my daughter because it is written in a more American tone that sounds a bit strange in an English accent. A lovely book to start the conversation about race & treating people with kindness with young children. ## Frequently Bought Together - It's OK to be Different: A Children's Picture Book About Diversity and Kindness - Kindness is my Superpower: A children's Book About Empathy, Kindness and Compassion (My Superpower Books) - Our Diversity Makes Us Stronger: Social Emotional Book for Kids about Diversity and Kindness (Children’s Book for Boys and Girls) (World of Kids Emotions) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/169689029-its-ok-to-be-different-a-childrens-picture-book-about](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/169689029-its-ok-to-be-different-a-childrens-picture-book-about) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
