What makes you, YOU? We are all special and unique. But we also have more in common than we think! Everyone should feel free to be ourselves because, in the end, when we come together we make the world an AMAZING place. Kate Jane Neal has created another heartfelt picture book--one that celebrates our differences AND our likenesses. This is a necessary message and a timeless book for children and even graduates.

Elmo and his pet fish, Dorothy, are the greatest of friends. Elmo takes care of her and introduces her to his other friends, including Zoe, Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster. Elmo talks to Dorothy all the time. And—glug-glug—she answers Elmo in “fish-talk”! Scattered throughout the story are descriptions of how friends help each other: they keep each other company, share new experiences, cheer each other up, take care of each other, and much more. Toddlers will be familiar with Dorothy the goldfish from the “Elmo’s World” segments on Sesame Street.

Who better than Elmo and his Sesame Street friends to teach us that though we may all look different on the outside—deep down, we are all very much alike?

This enduring, colorful, and charmingly illustrated book offers an easy, enjoyable way to learn about differences—and what truly matters. We’re Different, We’re the Same is an engaging read for toddlers and adults alike that reinforces how we all have the same needs, desires, and feelings.

The eternal question: Are you a Bert or an Ernie? You’ll find out thanks to The Importance of Being Ernie (and Bert). And this book will show you how to be best friends with those who wear their stripes a little differently. Bert and Ernie have been friends and roommates on Sesame Street for decades, despite very different approaches to life’s challenges and joys. One collects jokes, the other collects paperclips.

But they both agree that having a best buddy is worth all the daily ups and downs. There are no better experts on living together and learning together.
