Difference, respect, and a new school

Lula, a young turtle starting at a new school, is mocked by classmates for being slow. A teacher uses a game to help the animals recognize that everyone has strengths and weaknesses, bringing the story’s focus on respect and acceptance into a school setting. The book also spells out RESPECT through the initials of the animal characters’ names, giving its central idea a clear closing device. As a board book for young children, it introduces diversity and bullying through a simple classroom situation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 2–5 encountering themes of diversity and respect
  • Families or educators seeking a story about teasing and bullying at school
  • Young children preparing for a new school experience

Book overview

So Different, So Equal is a board book for children from 2 to 5 years old. This story helps children to learn about what diversity is and how to fight bullying at school. No one is perfect, and we must accept others as they are.

Lula is a little turtle who has just started in a new school. But she is surprised to find that her new classmates make fun of her because of how slow she is. The teacher notices and, through a game, makes them see that they all have strengths and weaknesses. He teaches them that no one is perfect and that we have to respect each other because, deep down, we are all as different as we are the same. At the end of the book, the word RESPECT is spelled out by the initial of each animal character in the story.

It's a highly recommended book for 2 to 5-year-old children, ideal to read the day before starting school. Children learn not to laugh at others. It's the anti-bullying book.
