Welcome to Different Like Us!, the book that explores how being different helps shape our world.

Sharing the stories of more than 40 children from across the globe, this book celebrates their strength and joys, without shying away from the tough stuff that’s part of the package. Reading their words will help you identify your own strengths and work out how your unique qualities and experiences can drive you forwards.
