Give your child the gift of acceptance!

Childhood is a formative time when children establish a foundation for their opinions, fears, self-confidence, strengths and weaknesses—and ultimately their actions toward self and others. They are influenced by a wide variety of people in their lives, from family members and friends to teachers and baby-sitters—and each person is different, both in physical and personality characteristics. With this book, you can reinforce the concept that people are different, and that’s okay. Whether the differences are in skin color, body shape, disability, or eye color, we are all special and unique. With soft, colorful, and realistic illustrations, WE is a delightful book, written in a simple rhyming style that makes it both fun to read and easy to remember. And when children identify with the pictures—finding characteristics of their own and those they know—it raises their self-confidence and promotes acceptance. As the book says, “There are many more people than just you and me. There’s a special word for all of us; that special word is WE.”
