From the bestselling author of How Are You Feeling Today?, this picture book encourages children to celebrate uniqueness and diversity and helps them to challenge stereotypes. The Same but Different explores the ways in which we're all unique as well as the similarities we all share. Using everyday examples, clear explanations and colourful illustrations by Sarah Jennings, this book prompts children to broaden their perspectives and rejoice in their differences. After all, imagine how boring the world would be if everyone was exactly the same!Homophones are words pronounced alike but different in meaning or derivation or spelling. These words may be spelled differently from each other (such as to, too, and two), or they may be spelled the same way (as in quail meaning ‘to cower’ and quail meaning a type of bird). Author Anna Kemp introduces The Hollow Hills, the sequel to her dark magical tale, Into Goblyn Wood. Analyzing: How would you compare and contrast Elliot and Kailash? How are they the same?

In the long years between, she had fashioned many fine dresses—gowned gay girls for their conquests and robed fair brides for the _____ [ altar or alter]." Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in. Create a picture that you might send to either Elliot or Kailash that shows how you are the “same, same but different.” (Creating) This is a story about two boys who are “Picture Pals” instead of Pen pals; they draw art and send it to each other. One boy seems to be from a big city in America, the other boy seems to be from India (they never really say in the story). Throughout the story, they draw about their families, towns, languages and schools. The connection I made with this book is a text to self connection in part of the book where the boys send pictures of how they say “hello” in each of their cultures. I don’t have or have ever had a pen pal, much less a “Picture Pal,” but I do have some deaf friends whom communicate differently in their language. They say “hello” and any words to communicate using their hands, whereas in the speaking culture, we can talk. These friends have taught me a lot about their culture by using signs and understanding that even though they may be Caucasian, the deaf people have their own culture since they are not hearing. They taught me at a young age of third grade, that even though we live in the same places, the way they are treated is not often very kind. So just because people live in the same country, doesn’t always mean they have the same culture, but we are all humans and just want to be friendly toward each other.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special. The colorful illustrations were made using acrylics, crayon, pencil, collage and tissue paper on Strathmore illustration board. I found Kailash's pictures more entertaining, whimsical and fun. My favorite images include the covers, the stamp endpapers, Elliot's art class, Kailash's world, Kailash in the tree, Kailash's family and animals, Kailash's village, Kailash in traffic, two school buses, two alphabet's, two favorite classes, and the boys asleep. Applying: Imagine you have a pen pal who lives in another country. What questions would you ask your pen pal? He was wearing a new hat of a pretty biscuit shade, for it never occurred to him to _____ [ buy, by, or bye] anything of a practical color; he had put it on for the first time and the rain was spoiling it."
