Beyond Difference

The main goal of Beyond Difference is to infuse children’s learning with pictures, stories and facts to help them understand the nature, development and complexity of U.S. society. At the same time, Beyond Difference helps them understand and articulate how they and their lives, families and communities are the same, and yet at the same time different from people and situations they may see as “other.”

Using diverse picture books helps children become more careful social observers and critical thinkers. With the guidance of an educator, they can learn how to think about a story and ask important questions such as:

Who’s telling the story?
What would the story be from another perspective?
What are the benefits and what are the disadvantages of a given situation?

By reading, talking, making connections and seeing new and diverse characters and situations, children and educators are truly able to go Beyond Difference.
