Overview

Luke is a smart and funny boy who is missing just one thing...arms! Luckily, he has a great big brother, Ricky, to help him learn to navigate life without them-and have fun along the way. Book two of the children‛s series Different, Yet Like Me, designed to provide understanding of how illnesses, disabilities, and differences affect people. Inspired by real people born with no arms. As children read about some of the things Luke goes through with his disability, they may become more comfortable around children with different looks. They may be more open and kind in talking with people who have differences. Perhaps some children with differences will become more comfortable going out and start feeling more free to do the things they like. Be sure to also check out Different, Yet Like Me: DARLA, Book One of the Different, Yet Like Me series.

"""I love this book. Today, kids may be familiar with wheelchairs and sign language but someone with no arms? Not so much. More proof we are all our own 'normal.' I should know; I also have no arms!"" - Alvin Law ""As a former kindergarten and preschool teacher, I appreciate this book very much. The author presents 'disabilities' as normal, not to be feared. She also presents the reality that people can be hurt by being isolated because of their disabilities. I believe it is advantageous to expose children to these issues as soon as they realize differences so they can be accepting and caring. In addition, it is hoped that children with disabilities may feel more confident after reading this book."" - Gaye Fifer ""This story is great and inspirational, and I love the jokes."" - John Fox, Bookfox"
