As parents, our children often ask us questions we aren\u2019t quite sure how to answer in a way that\u2019s honest, but not over their heads.\u00a0 For example, \u201cWhy am I different?\u201d.\u00a0 This can be especially troubling for the parent of a child with any physical or mental disability.\u00a0 When the Hendersons faced this question from their son Trey, who has Down Syndrome, the answer Sherri gave him was that everyone is different from others in some way.\u00a0 It was from that answer the poem Different Like Me was born, and has now been turned into this book with wonderful illustrations by Ani Barmasi.<\/p>\n<\/div>
