The Smallest Spot of a Dot: The Little Ways We’re Different, The Big Ways We’re the Same

I recently received some books from Zonderkidz for review - today I am happy to let you know about one of them - The Smallest Spot of a Dot: The Little Ways We’re Different, The Big Ways We’re the Same.

The Smallest Spot of a Dot: The Little Ways We’re Different, The Big Ways We’re the Same

Author - Linsey Davis and Michael Tyler

Illustrator - Lucy Fleming

Publisher - Zonderkidz

Ages - 4-7

There are several things I really like about this book -

• The illustrations are wonderful, full of color and details which will leave all children connecting with the story.
• I love the science and how it is presented in a very understandable way.
• I especially love the message of how we are all very much alike!

Zonderkidz says; "Now a New York Times bestseller! Using child-friendly language, this playful picture book explains how genetics make each person unique and celebrates how we are more alike than different and are all part of the human race. In The Smallest Spot of a Dot: The Little Ways We’re Different, The Big Ways We’re the Same, Linsey Davis, bestselling children’s author, Emmy-winning correspondent, and host for ABC News, together with co-author Michael Tyler, encourages children to find their own unique dot with sweet, rhyming prose.

'Only .1% of our genes make us uniquely who we are. We are 99.9% identical, alike, the same—equal. This book is 100% about this truth.'

Combining whimsical rhymes and Lucy Fleming’s engaging art, The Smallest Spot of a Dot is:

• An inspiring story of connection, equality, and acceptance
• Multicultural, multiracial children’s picture book which recognizes our similarities and our uniqueness
• Great for classroom use as children explore genetics, DNA, and individuality
• The perfect read-aloud for kids ages 4–8
• A unique gift for birthdays and holidays, or a back-to-school treat" 

I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it - consider getting it as a gift for a child you love for Children's Day - this coming Sunday!
