I'm Like You, You're Like Me by Cindy Gainer

44 pages. Free Spirit, 1998.

Kids are similar in many ways and different in many others, including age, family size, neighborhood, school, holidays and celebrations, skills and abilities; color of hair, eyes, and skin; height, and hair texture. Kids affirm that they like their own body and appearance, and that other kids' bodies are "just right" for them. They show readers how to work and play cooperatively and to communicate acceptance, and they encourage readers to listen to one another, to try to understand one another, and to be ask kind as they can be. This book communicates a positive sense of respect for differences and gives clear examples of ways to get along with other kids.

Ages: 3-7
