Description
'Molly Potter's books are just gorgeous and this one is another winner!' Kathy Brodie, Early Years expert and host of Early Years TV
'A good starting point for conversations about inclusion.' Bookseller
From the bestselling author of How Are You Feeling Today?, this picture book encourages children to celebrate uniqueness and diversity and helps them to challenge stereotypes.
The Same but Different explores the ways in which we're all unique as well as the similarities we all share. Using everyday examples, clear explanations and colourful illustrations by Sarah Jennings, this book prompts children to broaden their perspectives and rejoice in their differences. After all, imagine how boring the world would be if everyone was exactly the same!
This book covers lots of ways in which we're different, including how we look, where we live, the languages we speak, what our families are like and what we believe in. It's the perfect resource for starting important conversations with children about diversity and inclusion, with topics such as race, disability, gender, sexual orientation and religion. Early Years and PSHE expert Molly Potter also provides a glossary of terms and notes for parents and carers offering advice on tackling prejudice right from the start.
Let's Talk books help you start meaningful conversations with your child. Written by an expert and covering topics like feelings, relationships, diversity and mental health, these comforting picture books support healthy discussion right from the start.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
