... Sometimes it is scary as a child to feel different, but this book reminds us that our differences make us unique. Our unique traits is what make us special!

Author Information

Charity Michelle Harris spent her childhood feeling different. At age seven, she was diagnosed with Charcot Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT), a neuromuscular disease that made it difficult for her to do things. As Charity got older, she noticed that she walked differently than the other children, and they noticed it too, kids would call her crippled, tease her for being skinny and would even imitate the way she walked. Although this deeply hurt Charity, she did her best to be nice despite the actions of her bullies. Throughout her school years, she met many kind friends who helped her when she needed help. If her backpack were too heavy, the boys would carry it for her; if she stumbled or fell while walking, her friends would help her up, and when her hands were too tired, her friends would help her open her snacks. Charity was very different from the average child. Even though she faced a few bullies growing up, she had friends who were there when Charity needed them most, and she is so very grateful for their kindness. She wrote What If We Were All the Same! as a love letter to the child, she was---one who grew up thinking she was not important enough to chase her dreams because of her differences. Charity has her Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design, with a minor in marketing management from California Polytechnic University, Pomona. She is also a certified ADA coordinator and uses her degrees and certification to help others. To read more about the author, visit CMHarrisBooks.com
