Celebrating Uniqueness through Choices, Likes and Dislikes
The idea for Everyone is Unique began in my classroom, through a simple yet powerful observation.
I noticed that many children struggled to understand how they could be different from others, yet the same in so many ways. As I spent more time with them, I realized that one of the simplest ways for children to understand uniqueness is through their everyday choices.
Each child has their own likes and dislikes.
One may love painting, while another may enjoy building.
One may prefer quiet moments, while another thrives in a group.
Some like certain colours, games, or ways of learning.
These everyday preferences are where uniqueness begins.
Through our choices, we express who we are. No two people will choose in exactly the same way every time and that is what makes each of us unique, not because we are “more special,” but because we are different in our own way.
At the same time, every child shares something important. We all have feelings, we all want to be understood, and we all deserve respect. This is where we are the same.
This balance became the heart of the book:
- You are unique in your choices, your likes, and your dislikes.
- Others are unique in theirs.
Everyone is Unique was created to make this idea simple and relatable for children. It helps them see that true confidence is not about standing above others, but about knowing who you are while respecting who others are.
