What have teachers, librarians and students said about the Beyond Difference Program? "As we become more and more diverse in our school district, there is a great need to share these books. I learned a great deal and became so much more aware of what needs to be done and what can be done with our students. It was a wonderful experience being part of the Beyond Difference team in my school." "My students and I learned that 'beyond difference' is not just about overcoming obstacles. People of all ages, gender, color, etc. are all living a life but with different experiences and places. We look for similarities or small connections with characters and events in the books that we are reading. When we finish reading every Beyond Difference book we clarify with questions and connections. I am so proud of my class. We did build a caring classroom community." "Part of doing this project is to see how literature can help heal, and give comfort and strength to someone going through a difficult time. We all experience feelings of exclusion, fear and not being a part of a group. Reading books gives us courage to deal, examples to follow. These books help us cope."
