This joyful rhyming book encourages children to value the “different” in all people, leading the way to a kinder world in which the differences in all of us are celebrated and embraced.
Macy is a girl who’s a lot like you and me, but she’s also quite different, which is a great thing to be. With kindness, grace, and bravery, Macy finds her place in the world, bringing beauty and laughter wherever she goes and leading others to find delight in the unique design of every person.
Children are naturally aware of the differences they encounter in everyday life and relationships. They just need to be given tools to understand and appreciate what makes us “different,” permission to ask questions about it, and eyes to see and celebrate it in themselves as well as in those around them.

Dear educators (teachers, parents, pastors, etc.),
We are headed back to school! As a family who spent more than a year doing distance learning it is hard to wrap my mind around what this next school year will look like for my three kids walking onto a campus and entering classrooms with real live teachers and students. One thing is for sure, it’s going to be Different! Which is why I’m so thankful for the timing of the release of my new children’s book, “Different -- A Great Thing to Be!”. I believe this book is a great resource as we help our kids navigate this school year as they have opportunities to notice, embrace and celebrate the Different in themselves as well as others. I trust this book will serve as a powerful tool to help you do just that. And to be sure, here at The Lucky Few we have created A Different Classroom Kit full of additional resources for you to download and use to create a whole Different kind of lesson for our kids and students. Included in this Different Classroom Kit is the following:
A Different conversation guide
A Different Self Portrait (two options)
A Different Kind of BINGO
Tell Me More About That- Writing activity
