Not the Same but Just as Good Pat Nicholson

"NOT THE SAME but JUST AS GOOD" is the third and final installment of Pat's 'Compassion Series', along with: 'Sometimes My Friends Don't Look Like Me... Sometimes They Don't Look Like You' and 'A Reflection of We'. A few quotes from 'NOT THE SAME but JUST AS GOOD': "We won't always end up in the same place because not everyone has the same start. But to decide that we are better than others is just unkind and not very smart." "If I don't do as well in our school or get the same marks that you get. It could just mean that I'm great in other things or just haven't found my talent as yet.""It's not fair to decide that you know someone because of what people on your screen may say. So you must ask yourself this big question: If someone does something very wrong, does that mean everyone who looks like them is also that way?"Important, relevant book for all children and adults. Provides tools for healthy emotional and social development, as it promotes self-esteem and understanding of others in a gentle, yet strong delivery of ways to deal with increasingly relevant issues. For elementary school levels, but may easily be used in higher grades to discuss social issues, bullying, kindness and tolerance. Characters are multi-faceted and diverse. Stunning and captivating illustrations by Korey Scott.
