Are we the SAME, or are we DIFFERENT?
Could both of these be true?
Let’s get a little closer, and look at me and you!

The Same Heart encourages the reader to look at
faces, feelings and thoughts to discover how we are
both different and alike. Using simple direct language,
the message is clear that while our features appear different, they provide us with the same experiences. Joyful rhymes show children that everyone is different
on the outside, but in all the ways that matter most,
we are the same.

Yes, we are DIFFERENT on the outside, but inside
you can see We all share the SAME HEART, it connects you and me!

Text in English and Spanish is amplified by call out
words in major languages, and illustrations created by students celebrate the beauty of individual faces in the rich landscape of diversity. The Same Heart provides children with respect for every individual’s uniqueness and the importance of finding connection.

The Same Heart is the perfect book to share diversity in our multicultural society. Children not only see and read about children like themselves and their friends, they also get a lesson in acceptance and compassion. The Same Heart is great for elementary, pre-elementary, and children of any age. We love it and our students loved participating in it.

Acceptance, compassion, kindness and forgiveness are
topics I discuss with children and parents daily to inspire
well being. The Same Heart brilliantly captures the essence
of oneness in which children of all cultures can relate.
My six year old son loves this book and he is not an easy
sell! His endorsement speaks as loud as mine!
