I liked the book “I’m like you, you’re like me” by Cinder Gainer. One reason I liked this book was because of the writing and language. The writing was organized and flowed well. On most of the pages it starts out by stating how we all do one thing but we may do it differently. On one page

it states, “We celebrate holidays and special days. Sometimes we celebrate the same holidays. Sometimes we celebrate different holidays. Sometimes we celebrate the same holiday but in different ways.” Another reason I liked this book was because of the illustrations. Besides where the words were the illustrations took up the entire page. The illustrations were brightly colored and showed emotion in all of the character’s faces. This allows the students to understand how the characters are feeling. The big idea of this story is that we are all different people, but we can be the same in some ways. It is okay to be different.

This story is about differences and similarities. Some things talked about in the story is skin color, size, eye color, etc. I enjoyed the illustrations. I think any child could learn and relate to this story.
