We're Different, We're the Same (Sesame Street) (Pictureback) Paperback – Picture Book, October 13, 1992

I read it to my daughter every day! It teaches about diversity and how everyone is beautiful in their own way

This is my toddlers favorite book ❤️ he loves pointing to his nose, eyes, mouth and skin as we read the book and he also loves finding Elmo. I love the message of this book celebrating diversity while recognizing how we are similar in so many ways. The last page always makes me tear up with the line on how rainbows would be boring if they were only green or blue and that what makes a rainbow beautiful is that it has every hue “so aren’t you glad that you look like you?”. I feel like more people in the world should have read this book growing up. Illustrations are so so well done throughout and the messaging again is so thoughtful. It’s a book I really don’t mind (actually love) reading to my son 6+ times a day at his request (again, again, again!).

Love it for my baby

LOVE THIS BOOKMy <2 year old is obsessed!

This is a great book for children and adults!Teaches a great lesson with wonderful illustrations.

We have the hardback version with paper pages & my 1 year old absolutely loves it but struggles to “help” turn the pages without ripping or wrinkling them. Bought the board book version for her & also as a gift for a niece, and the board book version is shortened! It’s very good quality and vivid pictures but I do wish that the end where it says the part “a rainbow would be boring if it were only green or blue, so aren’t you glad you look like you?” would be the full paragraph because it’s my favorite part of the book. Still read this to my baby pretty much daily. Highly recommend.

LOVE the book. So fun, and such a subtle and effective way of celebrating diversity. Only comment is: I feel like some of the facial features are a bit stereotypical. As an ethnically Chinese person it definitely stood out to me that all the yellow-skinned human characters had slanted eyes. While it is somewhat/sometimes accurate, not all of us look like that. I would've appreciated more diversity among the human characters' facial features. Nevertheless, it is such a fun book with delightful illustrations and our daughter loves pointing out the balls, flowers, and dogs in the book!

This was one of my son’s favorite books. I got one for my great niece and she too loved it. They interact with the pages , point to the many different people, and describe what they see. I’d say the best age to give this book would be 3 and 1/2 to 4 years; they will continue reading it for years.
