Reviews
"""I would recommend this book for all kids from 0-10! I like that the issues were general enough that kids will likely connect with at least one of the examples of being 'different'. The book also talks directly to kids and makes the book personal to the reader. All kids need reminding that being different is a good thing!"" - Cassandra Pearson, Parent & Teacher"

Leland Harris has been drawing for as long as he can remember. As a kid, he would go to the library and check out as many ""how to draw"" books as he could carry. Nowadays, he's busy completing his Bachelor's of Music and starting his Bachelor's of Education, with the dream of teaching music or art. In his spare time, he likes to write music, crochet, and of course, draw.As a transgender person, he is very excited to share the message that ""Different is Good"", especially to every kid who feels different from everyone else. He has found joy in his different-ness, and hopes that everyone reading will as well"
