"This book broaches a truly important subject with compassion and sensitivity. Readers will be able to see physical differences in the characters and understand this is nothing to be frightened of, nor are they to be ridiculed. A children's book for our times. Thank you Sarah!"

“Different Yet The Same by Sarah Styles is a heartwarming children's story that promotes acceptance and understanding of differences in others. The story is written in a simple and easy-to-understand language that children can easily comprehend. The author does an excellent job of explaining what a wheelchair is and how it helps people who have difficulty walking. The same goes for hearing aids, where the author explains how they work and how they help people who have difficulty hearing. The story also emphasizes that while some people may be different, they are still the same as everyone else in many ways. They all enjoy playing and having fun, regardless of their differences. The author also provides useful advice on how to interact with people who use wheelchairs or hearing aids. It is okay to offer help, but it is also important to respect their choices and preferences. The story teaches children to be kind, empathetic, and respectful towards others, regardless of their differences. Different Yet The Same by Sarah Styles is a beautifully written and illustrated children's story that encourages acceptance, understanding, and kindness towards people who are different. It is an excellent book for parents, caregivers, and educators to use to teach children about diversity and inclusion.”
