Review:

"This book is about acceptance and understanding. Understanding that people are different. We all have different beliefs, likes and dislikes. Some people are rich, some are poor. Some people are trans or gay and even though that may be different than you it's okay. It shows kids how you can be different from someone and still be kind."  Stephanie Guerra (Educator) via NetGalley

"This book has nice illustrations and a message that is important for kids to understand. As a homeschool mom, I believe it's important to teach my children that there are many people that make up our world and that they need to be able to show respect to everyone everywhere. The diversity covered in this book help facilitate discussions with my children and will help them establish their specific worldview while also being respectful of all people."  Angela Payne (Educator) via NetGalley

"This book is the perfect addition to any family or classroom library for those who want to help kids celebrate the many ways we, as human beings, are different. The illustrations are colorful and engaging and the rhyming, sing-song nature of the writing will draw kids right in. 

There are many homeschooling parents looking for a way to introduce diversity to their kids, and this book would be the perfect way to do so. It would work for young children in early elementary school, but would be just as appropriate (with some more follow up conversation) for a much older child as well. It is wonderful to see a book with such a positive message being created. I will definitely be buying a printed copy for myself and recommending it far and wide!"  Katie Boczarski (Educator) via NetGalley

"This beautifully illustrated children's educational book is perfect for young children, to help them understand and accept difference. It will help teachers and parents alike to explain this essential concept to very young children. A great find!"  Marie-Hélène Fasquel (Reviewer) via NetGalley  

"Some People Do has a wonderful message and great illustrations. I think educators and parents could use this text as a powerful conversation starter about diversity, differences, and respect."  Deanna Shuler (Educator) via NetGalley
