"Not So Different" is a picture book encouraging children to embrace their differences and celebrate diversity. It is a fun rhythmic read for young children and can be used as a tool to start the necessary conversations about differences in the world. Inspired by her interracial marriage and biracial children, Cyana hopes to help create a world where children are able to talk about and learn from each other's differences in a positive way. "Not so different" provides clear imagery of the many ways we are different, while also recognizing the ways we are the same.
