This is a reassuring book that inspires kids to celebrate their individuality through acceptance of others and self-confidence – and it’s never too early to develop a healthy self-esteem. This title is designed to encourage early literacy, enhance emotional development, celebrate multiculturalism and diversity, and promote character growth.
The companion to his beloved classic It’s Okay to Be Different, this title encourages kids to be proud of who they are inside, and who better than Todd Parr to remind kids that their unique traits are what make them so special? With his signature silly and accessible style, Parr encourages readers to embrace all their special qualities.

A book that embraces life’s happy accidents; the mistakes and mess-ups that can lead to self-discovery. From coloring outside the lines and creating a unique piece of art to forgetting an umbrella but making a new friend, each page offers a kid-friendly take on the importance of taking chances, trying new things, and embracing life, mistakes and all.
