Product Information

Applying: Imagine you have a pen pal who lives in another country. What questions would you ask your pen pal? From the bestselling author of How Are You Feeling Today?, this picture book encourages children to celebrate uniqueness and diversity and helps them to challenge stereotypes. Speech and Language Therapists or Speech Pathologists seek to aid those with difficulty communicating in getting the help they need. This can include people with certain disabilities that make them non-verbal or hinder their communication, such as Autism and Dyslexia. They can also help people whose issues stem from illness and injury. Goal –to highlight the fact that we all have similarities as well as differences. Useful icebreaker for diversity, equality or bullying training.

This is a story about two boys who are “Picture Pals” instead of Pen pals; they draw art and send it to each other. One boy seems to be from a big city in America, the other boy seems to be from India (they never really say in the story). Throughout the story, they draw about their families, towns, languages and schools. The connection I made with this book is a text to self connection in part of the book where the boys send pictures of how they say “hello” in each of their cultures. I don’t have or have ever had a pen pal, much less a “Picture Pal,” but I do have some deaf friends whom communicate differently in their language. They say “hello” and any words to communicate using their hands, whereas in the speaking culture, we can talk. These friends have taught me a lot about their culture by using signs and understanding that even though they may be Caucasian, the deaf people have their own culture since they are not hearing. They taught me at a young age of third grade, that even though we live in the same places, the way they are treated is not often very kind. So just because people live in the same country, doesn’t always mean they have the same culture, but we are all humans and just want to be friendly toward each other.These simple cards are illustrated with simple, vibrant illustrations that will get your learners invested in the activity and help you with how to teach same and different with speech therapy. Rest assured that all these materials are created by people with knowledge in the field to help those that teach. As the participants move from group to group, they soon realise that we have as much in common with each other as we have differences. The trainer then discusses this with the group and uses the point to lead into the training. Creating: Invent a new scenario. Draw a new picture for Kailash about America and what you do for fun. Same Same But Different comes with 400 cards, a notepad, and instructions, making it easy to set up and play. So gather your friends and get ready for a night of laughs with Same Same But Different.

This realistic fiction book would be great to read aloud to children in grades K-5, as it should spark many wonderful conversations about differences and similarities amongst cultures. I think that this would give students an understanding of the cultures of people around the world, and even their own classroom! I truly believe that when people understand each other, they are less likely to judge.Perfect for adult game nights, bachelorette parties, and any occasion where you want to have a good time with friends The colorful illustrations were made using acrylics, crayon, pencil, collage and tissue paper on Strathmore illustration board. I found Kailash's pictures more entertaining, whimsical and fun. My favorite images include the covers, the stamp endpapers, Elliot's art class, Kailash's world, Kailash in the tree, Kailash's family and animals, Kailash's village, Kailash in traffic, two school buses, two alphabet's, two favorite classes, and the boys asleep. Her art is very effective as well, rendering both cultures with bright colors, plenty of motion, and a natural energy that captures the eye. She makes the differences between the cultures quite compelling. Social Skills - In this category, you will find many resources to help learners develop their social skills effectively. There are plenty of self-regulation resources and social situations.
