Description ■ "Everyone is a little different. Being different is never a reason to be teased." A message about perspective, told through a humorous story This is author Anna Kang's first picture book. It was inspired by her own experience of being teased simply for looking different while growing up in the United States. Through that experience, the author realized that "different perspectives can lead to different opinions, but that doesn't mean one side is right and the other is wrong—because perspective is entirely subjective." This book is wonderful for helping children learn to accept that others may think differently, and to respect other people's opinions just as much as they respect their own. In 2015, this book won the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award, given by the Association for Library Service to Children for the year's best picture book. Right after its release, it received glowing praise from major outlets including The Wall Street Journal, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and Booklist. In Korea as well, it has been recommended by major newspapers and children's book associations as an excellent picture book for teaching children about difference and human rights. ■ The "(Not)" Series: Building Children's Social Skills and English Ability This book includes SayPen compatibility, so kids can listen to a voice actor's narration—and even read and record their own voice! This is the first book in the "(Not)" series, designed to build children's social skills and English ability together. The series includes You Are (Not) Small, which explores differences between individuals; That's (Not) Mine, about two characters who each insist an object belongs to them; I'm (Not) Scared, which shows characters facing something frightening together; and Can I Tell You a Secret?, the story of a frog who is afraid to swim—along with their English-language editions. You Are (Not) Small, That's (Not) Mine, I'm (Not) Scared, and Can I Tell You a Secret? have all been highly recommended for young children learning to speak in the United States as well. Since every book is written in dialogue form, they're especially helpful for learning everyday conversational phrases. Every book in the "(Not)" series includes SayPen functionality, allowing children to listen to lively voice-actor narrations or read and record the dialogue themselves. Beyond simply enjoying the stories, this feature will greatly help children build both social skills and English ability at the same time. ※ Author Anna Kang Interview: http://www.koreatimesus.com/you-are-not-small-and-neither-is-anna-kangs-first-childrens-book/ Full Korean-language summary article: http://m.koreatimes.com/article/905011
