Featuring an ensemble cast of visibly diverse children, this colourful book explores ideas of difference and shared experiences, reflecting on how everyone is different but can find common ground and common feeling. A good starting point for conversations about inclusion.
The Bookseller
Molly Potter's books are just gorgeous and this one is another winner! Lots of great thoughts, ideas and practical ways to discuss diversity in all its forms. With Sarah Jennings' illustrations, they are perfect books.
- Kathy Brodie, Early Years expert and host of Early Years TV
Sarah Jennings’ splendid illustrations portray a diverse mix of children (and some adults) and Molly’s narrative focuses largely on differences including how people look – skin colour, hair styles and colours, eye colour, whether or not we wear glasses, height and clothing styles.
- Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub
How great to see the diversity on these colourful pages! Teachers, librarians and children will love the images that build bridges, connections and conversations in this wonderfully informative book.
- Sidra Asari, author, @sidra_writes
This is the perfect book for introducing diversity and inclusion to young children. I wish I'd had it when I had been teaching Early Years and KS1. It is written in such a clear and interesting way and each double page could be a circle time or focus for discussion at school.
- Becky, Bookstagrammer, @family_book_club
Text content is suitable for EYFS through to Year Six. The layout is very accessible. The contents and book structure means a particular page can be used as needed. Engaging and apt illustrations too.
- Liam, Year 6 teacher, @ThisIsLiamM
This is a highly inclusive and representative book, which literally includes as many different people as possible focusing on some of the features that make us unique beings, such as our hair and eyes colour, our preferences, opinions and beliefs, skin colour, type of family that we were brought up in, personality, nationality, and so many more. It brilliantly speaks of those differences as something positive and values diversity in a very natural way.
