Different Isn't A Dirty Word 

WHY THIS BOOK MATTERS NOW

At a time when political tension, bullying, and cultural division dominate headlines, this book offers children something grounding:
• belonging
• confidence
• acceptance
• empathy
• kindness
• disability visibility

Perfect for:
• Elementary schools
• Libraries
• Counselors & therapists
• Diversity & inclusion education
• Families
• Community programs

If you’re interested, we would love to arrange:
• a short interview with Eli (age 7)
• a feature on supporting young local authors
• a spotlight on inclusive children’s books
• a piece on the illustrator’s story and the family teamwork behind the project
