How Are We the Same and Different?
Bobbie Kalman
Paperback (Crabtree Publishing Company, March 1, 2009)We are the same because we are all human beings. We are mammals, primates, and intelligent vertebrates, who are born, grow, change, and die. We are also the same because we are all different. We have thoughts, ideas, beliefs, talents, and dreams, but how we think and act makes us who we are. Children often feel that they need to be the same as everyone else. That is the main reason for unhappiness. Do we see our differences as reasons for judgment and fighting? How can we view the different ways of others as things to enjoy, rather than criticize? This book encourages children to honor their own uniqueness and that of others through new ideas and positive actions.

Heather Lee Schroeder
Library Binding (Enslow Pub Inc, Jan. 1, 2010)Reviewers do not always know quite how to approach Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel PERSEPOLIS. Is it a memoir? A novel? A comic book? Ultimately, while one can debate the category of PERSEPOLIS, there is no denying that the work has sparked discussion where little had existed before. It offers a glimpse into ways of life in Iran that had been a mystery to Western audiences prior to its creation. With recent political events, interest in Iran and its people has never been greater.
