Readers' Favorite: 5 Star Review

"I Am Different, I Am Great had a great message, one that more kids nowadays need to hear. Melody Kiang’s story is written in a fun-to-read format and approaches the delicate subject of being treated differently in a child-appropriate manner. The plot got its message across well and did a good job of reinforcing the idea that it's okay to be yourself. I Am Different, I Am Great serves as a good book to keep kids occupied and it also imparts some valuable wisdom to their young minds."
