No One Else Like You
ByPublisher Description
There are so many people in the world. Over seven billion! They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and colors. Some are happy, and some are grumpy. Some live in tall towers in the city, while others live in cottages in the field. Some like to read, and some like to sing. And yet, even with so many people in this world, there is no one quite like you!
Ideal for children ages 4-8.
No One Else like You written by Siska Goeminne and illustrated by Merel Eyckerman, doesn't follow a character, but approaches diversity from a distance. "In this world there are more than seven billion people," it begins, then explores the many things those people do. Some work, some drive around. Some have tattoos. Some people are happy and some people are sad. People believe all kinds of things and practice all forms of religion. Everyone is different. Those differences, however, are what ultimately unite us: We're all different, and that's what we all have in common. The illustrations do a nice job of conveying the great diversity of people in the world. --The New York Times
"A joyous and realistic commemoration of the strengths and weaknesses of the human race...children will enjoy exploring the multifaceted illustrated examples within the intricate scenes." --Kirkus Reviews

“No One Else Like You by Siska Goeminne is a children's story which is supposed to celebrate diversity and uniqueness. As an elementary special education teacher, I teach a class of students on the autism spectrum. I am always on the lookout for books that teach social skills and that my students should be proud of themselves and all of their differences while respecting that other people can also be different. I was excited about most of this book, but there were a few word phrases that I felt a bit sarcastic or not appropriate for the intended age group. For example, when saying that everyone has a head that they every once while they use it to think. While I feel like this was intended to be humorous, I do not feel that all young children, especially students with disabilities, will understand that humor. I also felt that the page on respecting others' diverse beliefs was necessarily age appropriate either. I fully support teaching children to be respectful and accepting of others' religious beliefs; however, the wording seemed a bit clunky and almost seemed mocking. Overall, I feel that the book does celebrate accepting other people for their individuality, but some of the phrases were a miss for me, especially when thinking about the needs of students with disabilities. The illustrations were beautifully done by Merel Eyckerman.”
“No One Else Like You shows the realization that every person in this world has a personal life as vivid and complex as your own. This book can help give kids an insight into the lives of others that are different than their own. So many of us live in our own bubbles that we don't realize that we're not all the same. Small but engrossing illustrations make this book a true joy to read. This could be a fun book to read as an introduction to a classroom unit about world cultures, etc.”
“I liked the message of this book about how each of us is different and unique and how people come in all shapes, sizes, colors, feelings etc. I wasn't the biggest fan of the illustrations but still enjoyed it.
I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.”
