In a world of more than 7 billion people, you are unique. This picture book explains just how special you are. People live in different types of places around the world. People can be quiet or noisy. People have different types of bodies, come in different colors, shapes and sizes. They wear different clothes. People are also similar. They are all fragile, all need compliments and care. Some people are happy, some scared. They come from different families, different faiths. All of those differences add up to mean that there is no other person just like you!

Originally published in Belgium, this picture book has a decidedly European feel to it. The loosely structured book has a lovely meandering style, rather like a conversation with a good friend about how special you are. The illustrations are smaller and more contained, the pages filled with plenty of white space. They have a playful style, showing different people and lots of different children. A lovely book to encourage self esteem and individuality. Appropriate for ages 4-6.

3 stars.
This was good. Its about how everybody on earth is different but also a bit similar too. Its a book I think little kids would find interesting and the illustrations are really good, simple but really well done. Its a good book if you are trying to teach your children that being different is ok.

People are fragile. You shouldn't drop them, because they might fall to pieces. They love a little care; food and drink, but also hugs and sympathy. Or pay them a compliment-that makes them glow inside.

Even though this is under the genre of Christian, it does not speak of God but of embracing each other differences because there is not one like you. The illustrations show beautifully the differences we all have and how being unique brings mankind hope.

This book can drive a lot of thoughtful conversation and questions with and from your kids based upon the words and pictures. It is a little wordy for my young ones (3 and 6), but they liked the message and seemed very in tune as I read it to them. In the end, it has a nice message .. you are unique, and so is everyone else.

There are seven billion people in the world, and none are just like you. This book looks at the various types of people. Not bad.

In about seven billion people in this world, this book tells how unique you are.
There are types of people some smart, some sad, some thin, some fat, some religious and some not.
Some go with the flow while some do what they think is right.
Some people like this while some like that.
Everyone is a part of this big world, living in different places, in different houses and conditions.
Among all this you are unique for there's no one else like you!
And for everyone of us that "You" is different!

A deep thought explained with simplicity and well illustrated.

Great book for observing and discovering the differences in humanity and how one is unique from the other. Interesting, unique and colorful illustrations.

There are more than seven billion people in this world of ours. They are running, buzzing, busy, engaged in their lives and seemingly crawling like little ants in the grass everywhere.

The author aptly describes the diversity of people exploring their shapes and sizes, strange things that appear on their bodies, their clothing habits in the different cultures, their mood types (happy, gloomy, scared, confident), their talents and gifts (singing, storytelling, writing), and the spectrum of things that they believe in (God, secret powers, Santa Claus, nothing at all), just to name a few.

The beautifully detailed watercolour illustrations depict flocks of humankind, both young old, from every country, going about and engaging in their daily lives. The conclusion drawn is that even though all these people exist.... guess what? No two are exactly alike. Each and every person is unique so therefore you are one-of-a-kind too. The book certainly is a celebration of multiculturalism. I highly recommend it.

I liked this book that explains that everyone has things the same and different making everyone unique, including you. I can see this book being used to open a discussion about multiculturalism, individualism as well as what makes you unique. It covered many different characteristic or traits such as behaviours, hobbies, beliefs, families, feelings, and much more. An introduction to any of those themes in a classroom would welcome this book. The watercolour illustrations varied from simple to very complex. They were full of so many people that you could have a full conversation around one illustrated page. My only concern is that the text was quite small. I read an electronic version of this book so perhaps the actual book may not be the same. A great additions to a school library.

What do seven billion people all have in common? Diversity unites us is the powerful message in this artfully illustrated picture book that celebrates our differences in a unifying and engaging way.

An excellent and concise piece of literature that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a cogent piece of wisdom.

This book shows the many ways that people are different from each other. Where they live, beliefs, looks and thoughts. I feel that this would be a good book for children to read. It will teach them that everyone is different and that's OK. Celebrate the differences in people because their differences are what makes them special. No one person is exactly like another.

3/5 ⭐

No One Else Like You would be an excellent book to read aloud to a class at the beginning of the year. It reminds children that we are all different in many ways but we can still respect and love each other. The book had a great representation of diversity and focused on the positives in all children. I look forward to sharing this book with my class.

This is a nicely illustrated story for the Pre-K and elementary age target group. It goes to great lengths to describe all the ways that people are different and unique. While I appreciated the differences highlighted, it may be a little much at times for the youngest in the target group and become disinteresting for the oldest. I think it would have been more effective in its message if pared down.

I liked the idea behind this book, of explaining that everyone is different but that they are all unique, just like you. However, for the targeted age range (4-8), I feel that the author tried to cover too many bases. Rather than focusing on how people look, or one element of being 'different', they focused on behaviours, hobbies, beliefs, families, feelings, and much more. I think it would have been more effective to pick one element and stick to that, as this jumped around quite a lot. For age 4-8 it needs to be a little simpler.

I thought the watercolour-style illustrations were lovely, with great use of white space as background for the text. However, the text was very small and therefore difficult to read. I would have liked to have seen slightly larger text, so that children on the higher end of that age range would be able to follow along and try and recognise some of the words.
