Just Like You and Me: A Tale of Understanding

With a get-well drawing (an Annie original in crayon), a strong sense of curiosity, and her mother's gentle guidance, Annie's hospital visit includes an adventure filled with new friends, ice cream, and one of life's most important lessons: what we all share is greater than any physical differences that might set us apart.

This straightforward story is meant to help avoid embarrassing and potentially hurtful moments by initiating a dialogue regarding physical challenges. Taking a direct approach at assuaging a child's innocent curiosity, it touches upon everything from wheelchairs to eyeglasses, promoting further discussion that fosters understanding and acceptance. It's also a healthy reminder for any adult reading the book.
