(4) K-3 A young girl starts noticing how people are different from her (they speak in sign language or other languages, read Braille, use a wheelchair, are grown up, are male), but she also sees how, in some way, they're just like her. Objects and backgrounds in the illustrations remain in black and white while the people are in color, complementing the text's focus on individuality. Despite the book's didactic intent, the young narrator's voice is believable and appealing.
