I adored this sweet little children's book. The illustrations were incredibly done; the whole book was bright and cute. I think my favorite part was the representation of kids that don't usually get represented. The message that was being presented was clearly articulated. I think this is a super important book for children to have while growing up, especially right now. It was a super cute and quick read, and I loved it.

This is such a lovely book! So much needed when the world is going mad. I loved the simple text and bright colourful pictures. I read it along with my 6 yrs old and she loved it too. This book teaches us how to love the differences in each other no matter what, afterall we all are also similar in so many other ways. Can't recommend it enough! Loved every bit of it!

This was a very beautiful children's book about diversity and being different. This is definitely a book I want my future children to read.

Different Like Me is a book which shows kids that God created us all the same, regardless of our differences. It shows kids that although we may differ in our appearances and capabilities, it doesn't make us worth less than everyone else.

Was not able to download. Faulty download. Tried twice to no avail. Thank you for the opportunity.

This book was a cute exploration of our differences and how they enhance our lives instead of hinder. It has a good message about celebrating differences and also highlighting the things we have in common. It does reference God as a creator and cites a few Bible verses, so avoid if you do not abide by those beliefs.

This book had an excellent message! I think if it were not heavily based in christianity I would read it in my classroom. I think its An excellent book for Christian families and sunday school teachers. I would not be comfortable reading the beginning and end to a class full of students who represent many different religions. With that said the illustrations and diversity made me reallly happy while reading this book! It was easy to read!

I am really interested in reading this story but after so many attempts, I was unable to read it because the file that I always receive is blank and it is also not available for Kindle. I tried to ask for help in netgalley a couple of times but it didn't work.

I would purchase this book for my school library. It is a titles students in PK- 3rd would enjoy because of its message. Every child has felt different at one point, yet they realize that our similarities. bring us together. Simple verse and rhyme make the story easy to read aloud. The illustrations work wonderfully with the text.

Different Like Me is a beautiful, lyrical, faith-based story with a simple message that we all need to remember especially now – “I look around and what do I see? God made every kid different and special like me!” The book celebrates the diversity of all children, pointing out differences of race and special needs, and concludes with defining how we are all the same. Told through the eyes of a child, this story provides a wonderful tool for parents to facilitate conversations with their children about race, abilities and how we are all special.

The lyrical repetition of the story reminded me a bit of Eric Carle’s Brown Bear, Brown Bear, one of my son’s favorite stories, so naturally he gravitated toward this story. Although an adult myself, I found this book very moving, especially in this world filled with so much discrimination and hate toward others not like ourselves. I think this would be a great book for people of all ages and thank the author for this beautiful message.

Thanks to NetGalley, Xochitl Dixon and Our Daily Bread for an advance copy.

I loved most of the story and the illustrations were wonderful. There is a rhyme that goes throughout the story and really makes it fun to read aloud. I didn't realize that there would be a religion aspect and bible verses that I didn't think fit well. Beginning with, "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27." The book is about being different but the way it lists this verse and "male and female" was off putting. The summary of the books says it will follow diverse children through the story - I think the closed minded approach to diversity is not what we need right now.

Content:
“God made each of us unique, but sometimes these differences can leave us feeling like a fish out of water. In Different Like Me, follow a diverse group of children as they work together to help a giant fish balloon toward a surprising conclusion that will delight children. Celebrate our differences and uncover what we have in common on this whimsical journey that reminds readers that no matter how different, all of us are a part of God’s wonderful creation.”

Opinion:
At first, I definitely have to say that the cover and all other illustrations are so beautiful, and they suit the story so well. Bonnie Lui did a very good job in illustrating this important story. With these illustrations children can also tell their own story, even if they cannot read yet.
The text is also pretty nice. I love the message of it, and it is actually really important, especially in times like these. I think it is important that children learn such things like respecting each other and everyone is wonderful as he or she is.

Conclusion:
This book is an amazing children’s book that is important and that I would highly recommend to every child.

Gorgeous and whimsical illustrations charm the reader on every page. Sweet rhyming text unveils a bold Biblical truth: God made each of us beautifully different, and He did so on purpose! I especially like the wonderfully diverse group of children and the service dog, based on the author's own service animal! Bookends of scripture and a parent's guide at the back provide more information for the reader wanting to dig deeper. Such a beautiful book! I highly recommend this story. I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley and was not required to provide a positive review. This review is my own reaction to this book.

"Different Like Me" is a wonderful (and important) book celebrating the beauty and unique qualities of being human! Perfect story for all-ages to embrace and celebrate the things that make each of us different and the same.

The art style is precious, and the whole book reminds me of some board books I used to have as a child. Even the rhythm of the writing reminded me of them a lot. It fills me with so much nostalgia.

Thank you to NetGalley for letting me read this e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Different Like Me is a lovely book that teaches early readers to embrace diversity and differences and also recognize the ways we're all the same on the inside. Xochitl Dixon did a great job presenting this in an engaging way for young audiences, and the illustrations are especially gorgeous. The book has some discussion questions at the end with Bible quotes, but the book itself doesn't talk about religion.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Our Daily Bread Publishing for the advance copy.

Different Like Me is a children's story that speaks to how, although all of us may look different and feel different things, we are the same at heart, and all loved by God. It covers a range of topics from racial differences, to familial differences, to differences of ability/disability.

Although I am not a little kid anymore, I found that I almost began to cry reading this. The world right now seems to be full of hate, and I feel like a lot of people my age could really benefit from reading a book with this message. I am a firm believer that it is important to educate children at a young age about both how it is ok to feel/be different from others, and how important it is to treat people with kindness, regardless of differences. This book tackles both seamlessly!

Besides the message, the illustrations were cute and colorful (I especially liked the inclusion of the service dog). The story also features little rhymes, and the recurring saying "I look all around me and what do I see? So many kids who are different from me," which I thought was adorable. The last page also has a question list that encourages the discussion of people's differences between child and guardian, which was a nice addition.

The one thing I wished that the book touched upon were same sex relationships, as I think that is also a very important conversation to have. Even if there were just a page that said "some people have two mommies, other two daddies," or something of that nature to show that those differences, are ok too! Overall, though, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a way to facilitate conversations with their children about differences, and treating people with kindness (and especially those who want to do so using conversations about God).

Different Like Me is a really sweet story that allows for great conversations with your kids about race, ability and more.

The artwork is absolutely gorgeous, I love the rhyming verses and it’s the perfect length (ie. my kids didn’t get sick of it before it was over). I definitely recommend.

Different Like Me is a book truly needed in today's world. It's a great lesson in celebrating diversity. While this book is christian, it can be read by people of all faiths. Christian, illustrations are gorgeous as well.

This is my most favorite kind of kids book. Beautiful illustrations! Fun, easy to read verses! A great message that encourages virtues!

My kids will love this book and I'll be happy to read it to them as many times as they'd like. I'll be buying this for my boys as soon as it is released!
