Description

Meet Joy, who does not want to go to school because the kids treat her differently. One day things start to change. The school counselor comes in Joy's class and teaches a new word. The word is diversity. Be Different & Be Kind tells the courageous story of Joy and what it really means to be different. It is an inclusive story, which celebrates diversity and teaches us that we are all different. Are you looking for a resource to teach your children about the beauty of diversity? Maybe you are a parent, an educator, a counselor, or even a grandparent looking to teach the children in your world about diversity. Be Different & Be Kind will be an invaluable resource. Be Different & Be Kind is beautifully written and illustrated, with a story line which will immediately get the attention of children. It is also a clear guide for parents and educators as they lead children to honor and celebrate diversity. It is a much needed book in a market where there is a shortage. It is also a much needed book on the conversation of diversity and inclusivity. Be Different & Be Kind is written by a retired school counselor of 20 years who has worked in six different schools and three different states. Who is also a licensed clinical social worker who has worked for several non-profits in Canada and the United States.

Who is also the mom to nine precious jewels (children), through birth and adoption. The author's passions are deeply personal as her jewels have varying different special needs; and as she and her husband have both a multi-racial and multi-ethnic family, with five different races and seven different ethnicities represented.The book is a project of love as the author illustrated the book with her eighteen year old daughter. Be Different & Be Kind was revised and updated in July of 2022.
