This is a very sweet story with a beautiful message! I was drawn to this book because English Bulldogs are my favorite breed of dogs, so I was happy to see this breed as the star. Ace is a wonderful character who never waivers in who he is and is willing to stick up for himself and find the people who see value in who he is. This is a fabulous book for children to remind them that they won't always be the same as others, but yet to find joy in who they are. I really enjoyed it and recommend this story to parents and teachers to help reinforce this message.

This is a book geared for children, but my sensitive 6yo asked me to stop reading it because it was too sad. She did not like that the other dogs were laughing at Ace.

loved ace and how he learnt to defend himself against the other dogs that were bullying him....also such a great way to raise awareness and
ask questions to benefit children's curious minds!!

I'm Different. So What?! starts out with a story about dogs who are having issues with teasing at the dog park. The situation can be easily applied to playground dynamics. The main dog works through the situation with various strategies. After the story, tips for kids and parents are listed. It wraps up with an activity book that goes along with the story. This could be easily utilized in an early elementary classroom setting.

Thanks to Jireh Publishers and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
