Same, Same but Different by Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw Henry
Holt & Company, 2011.
“Same, same but different” is a saying Nepal natives use to
compare cultures and it is the perfect title for this beautiful picture book. The author/illustrator shows readers how two
kids from different countries- United States & India- can experience the
same events in different ways. From going to school to having pets, Elliot and
Kailash show us in their pen pal letters how they are similar and different at
the same time. The illustrations are
colorful and full of details made with acrylics, crayons, pencils, collage and
tissue paper. This is a great book to
start a conversation about our unique differences and similarities.
