Every child is wonderfully unique — and that’s something to celebrate! All the books in this collection embrace the things that make us different and empower students to never be afraid to be their most — and best — authentic self. 

Plus, check out these best-selling books about confidence.

The books featured here are a great starting point for classroom discussion about the qualities that make us all different, and encourage every student to be proud of what they’ve accomplished during the school year. (If you’re looking for a graduation book for your students to remember you by, every title below would make a meaningful gift!) 

The titles in this collection not only carry messages of respect and encouragement, but they also teach children to look beyond labels and appearances, while inspiring them to love and accept themselves. 

By sharing Only One You, you’ll remind your students that each and every one of them is special in their own way, as well as imparting valuable advice as they swim through the sea of life.   

Meanwhile, Be You! is a wonderful celebration of individuality and a joyful reminder that every child is unique. Through uplifting words and beautifully bright illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds reminds readers how important it is that they stay true to themselves.
