What is Someone just like you about?

Somewhere in the world, there is a child who is just like you. They may laugh at the same jokes, love the same things or feel frightened and lonely sometimes. Through gentle rhymes and lively illustrations, this thoughtful picture book shows how children everywhere can be different yet share the same hopes, feelings and dreams. It encourages readers to notice others, listen to their stories and offer kindness, friendship and help when someone needs it.
