The Gift of Being Different Children's Book
The Gift of Being Different is the first of the ON BEING book series that follows Abigail as she makes her way through her young life with the beautiful messiness of it all. This series of ten picture books, written for children ages 5-10, was conceived to help shine a light on the many tremendous superpowers we are each born with but do not recognize. The series also explores global issues like homelessness, shame, fear, and empathy. Set in present-day New York, the stories are told with humor, authenticity, and a powerful message to celebrate and embrace our differences.
