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 thats 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.

Along the way you will meet
· Cora, aged 10, whose painful medical condition has led to a special bravery that has shaped her life.
· Afua, aged 14, who has sickle cell, and explains how she came to accept her condition. She talks about the tips and tricks she uses to stay positive.
· Jensen, aged 10, who has hearing loss and has taught his school sign language.
· Kais, aged 9, who escaped from two wars, and has grown to see his new friends as a second family.
· Aidan, aged 13, who talks about dealing with the grief of losing his father.

Plus others who have been bullied, who stammer, who have sight loss, who are autistic, have ADHD, dyslexia, Tourettes or epilepsy, who have parents in prison, and many more.
