Learning with Dylan: We Are All Different is a gentle and inclusive children's book that celebrates friendship, kindness, and the many ways kids enjoy the world together.
Through simple language and colorful illustrations, young readers meet Dylan and his friends as they draw, play, read, sing, dance, build, climb, and learn side by side. Each page focuses on shared activities and joyful moments, showing children that everyone can have fun and belong-no matter how they look, move, or experience the world.
This book thoughtfully includes diverse children, some with visible and invisible differences, without making those differences the focus. Instead, it highlights connection, cooperation, and empathy in a natural, age-appropriate way.
Perfect for preschoolers and early elementary readers, Learning with Dylan: We Are All Different supports social-emotional learning, encourages acceptance, and helps children understand that friendships are built on shared joy, not labels.
Created with love by a disabled veteran and mom, this book is a heartfelt reminder that every child matters-and that our differences make our friendships even stronger.
