Summary

“This book could literally change a generation, change the trajectory of our culture, change a whole world of broken toward hope.”

- Ann Voskamp, New York Times bestselling author of The Broken Way

God could have made us all exactly the same, but He didn’t. And our differences are good!

As His children, those called by God to belong to His family, we can actually use our differences to help each other. Here’s some more great news: There are no rules about how we look or sound to be in His family. We have a delightfully different family on purpose.

Every person is made by God, in His image, and therefore is equal in value and worth.

Kids, somehow, already know this to be true.

This short, colorful book (written with grade-schoolers in mind) will share the truth of God’s Word with them. The truth about how we were made with differences, how we sinned, how God rescued us, and how—if we understand that God’s diverse creation will be together in Heaven—it should motivate us to love one another on earth!
