Same by Katrina Roe
Wombat Books, 2015. ISBN 9781925139266
(Age: All) Highly recommended. Same is a gorgeous picture book that
introduces the theme that everyone has something the same despite
their outward appearances. Ivy's Uncle Charlie comes for a visit but
she isn't too sure about this new visitor. Ivy is scared as Uncle
Charlie steers his wheelchair into the house. He is different to
other adults but when Uncle Charlie does something exactly the same
as her, Ivy sees how they are the same after all.
This is great story to read with all age groups, reminding them to
see others (who might seem different to them) as the same. Highly
recommended for readers aged 5+, this would also be a good story to
use for the Child Protection Curriculum and the identifying of
feelings.
