Tommy is a nice boy, but he doesn’t have any friends. He wonders if it is because he is different; Tommy wears hearing aids. But instead of getting angry or upset, Tommy decides to find out more about the people around him.

He genuinely wants to get to know what makes everyone he meets unique. In doing so, Tommy learns that everyone is different in one way or another, that being different is okay, and that he’s just fine with his differences.

And that’s what diversity is all about, Tommy figures out.

Morgan Morrow, a teenager from Columbus, Indiana, tells the tale of Tommy and his newfound friends in this book she did for her high school senior project. Morgan also did all the illustrations. She hopes this book will help anyone who feels they’re not okay because of their differences or is having a rough time fitting in or feeling accepted.

She says, Be yourself! Love yourself no matter what!
