Different and the Same

When kids come into the library, they love to find books with characters that reflect themselves.  It's important for children to find themselves in books, but it's equally, if not more important, for them to discover others.  We know what children learn from reading:  increased vocabulary, early learning skills and an imagination.  We also need to recognize that children learn empathy from reading about experiences different from their own.
