Something Different
Written by Reilly Greene | Illustrated by Tanya Maneki
Every child learns, moves, and feels in their own way.
Something Different is a celebration of the many tools, routines, and supports that help children thrive – from glasses and wheelchairs to fidget toys and brain breaks.
Through inclusive illustrations and gentle, rhythmic language, this story invites readers to embrace neurodiversity, self-awareness, and empathy in the classroom. It’s a heartwarming reminder that the things we need to be our best selves are also what make us wonderfully unique.
Perfect for read-alouds at home or in the classroom, Something Different opens the door to conversations about inclusion, equity, and the beauty of differences — encouraging all readers to reflect on what helps them shine.
