Just Like You by Jo Loring-Fisher
I have one nose, two eyes and two ears. My feet can take me a long, long way. Sometimes I am very happy and at other times so sad. But when I’m cuddled I feel cosy…. One little girl is going on a journey, but wherever she is in the world, she is just like you. This beautiful story, woven through with a surprise, is full of empathy, warmth – and hope."Full of empathy, warmth and hopeJust Like You simply reinforces the message that all children are just like one another."
* Amayah's Diverse Books *"This simple, beautiful, moving story with its surprise final spread exudes warmth and empathy. Equally important though, it is infused with hope. Compelling images ensure that the feeling of togetherness is indisputable a the narrative takes us towards its final revelation. If you are looking for a powerful picture book to introduce the theme of refugees or displacement to young children, this is one I'd strongly recommend."
* Red Reading Hub *"A reassuring text, modest in words but strong in its message, as it invites us to cherish what is universal....Its eye-catching and calming illustrations will soothe both child and adult readers."
* IBBY *"Otter-Barry is well known for publishing books with a purpose, and this will be a useful addition to a library, both as a story and as a way of appreciating how some other children live."
* Books for Keeps *"A very lovely read... very fitting for what is going on right now. This story is about a lovely little girl, who is just like every other child - except she lives in a refugee camp...The illustrations are beautiful."
