It encourages kids to accept and befriend those who are different from themselves, showing young children that they don't have to look alike or enjoy the same activities to be kind to one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the author wrote this children's book, she did so with one idea in mind. If we can instil positive messages from a young age about all the diversity our children will see in the world, we can help raise compassionate and caring children. When children are raised to accept and embrace those who are different from themselves, they are far more likely to be a friend than an adversary with their peers. This can lead to less bullying among children. And that is a beautiful thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis charming children's picture book could be the next Children's Classic.\u003c\/strong\u003e It leaves readers with the message that: \"You should always be kind to those who are different than you.
