In What If We Were All The Same ! author C.M.Harris introduces children to a simple concept : how diversity is a powerful and a wonderful thing. First, she shows thanks to Ashlynn Feather’s illustrations what a world where everything would be the same would look like. Same houses, same cars, same stars. Even the food would be the same and beets would be in everyday meals !

Using animals at first in her demonstration, she then shows how people are all different. I enjoyed all the diversity in this book and how it includes everyone : hair colors, skin colors, eye colors, handicaps, heights and capabilities ; everything being nicely explained in rhymes. I love how C.M.Harris empowers children, encouraging them to embrace their differences and respect the ones of others as well, sharing an important message about inclusion and diversity. ( )

This book is FANTASTIC for teaching students that what is different to them is special and should be celebrated. ( )
