A rhyming, patterned text celebrates human diversity with an otherwise straightforward series of observations about physical differences. Energetic watercolor and colored pencil illustrations show children of various colors and sizes at play in a busy city park. (Ages 3-6)

A little girl runs through the park noting differences between people, but surmising that we are all the same. "Straight hair, curly hair - different but the same!" "Big nose, little nose. Light skin, dark skin - different but the same!" Even with our differences, she chants, "Isn't it delightful bein' with you this way?" This poem reflects a perfect sentiment for our children living in this multicultural society.
