The book that I read is called "It's Okay to Be Different" by Todd Parr. This is a picture book that is excellent for a kindergarten level reader. The book is filled with bright colors and cheerful pictures, and sends an exceptional message.
This book describes a variety of ways in which a person can be different from someone else. There are not very many words on each page for the child to read, however the text is very beneficial to the reader because it provides an important message. On the last page of the book it says "It's okay to be different. You are special and important just because of being who you are." I think this is a very significant message to portray to children starting at a young age because they will realize that it is okay if they are not exactly the same as their friends, and they should be unique. I really really recommend this book becuase it sends such a great message to children about being different and diverse!!
