Books About Individuality
and Being Unique
Children's books about individuality pack a powerful message! In our society, children often feel so much pressure to be 'normal' or 'like everyone else'. Teaching kids that we're all different and special in our own way can help ease this pressure. When children learn to celebrate and appreciate what makes them unique, they develop into more confident, happy kids, better able to handle the challenges that might come their way.
If you are hoping to teach the students in your class to value what
makes them unique, the following children's
books can help.
