Like Me

Description

This children’s picture book follows a sibling of a child with special needs as they go through their day. A simple story with an important message, Like Me helps kids recognize that all people have different needs and abilities and are equally loved by God and created in his image. “God made you, God loves you, God is kind to you.” It can be hard for children to take those three life-changing truths into their hearts and treat others with love and understanding, especially when they encounter those whose needs differ drastically from theirs. Through a sibling’s eyes, young readers will tag along on a day of a child with special needs. As the two siblings play with friends, go to therapy, and spend time with family, relatable comparisons will help children understand a different type of family life, building empathy for children with special needs along the way. Like Me opens the door to meaningful talks with your child about empathy, compassion, diversity, and God’s love for them and others.
