A joyful celebration of differences through the eyes of a child.

Meet Nia, a bubbly 6-year-old with a big heart and a curious mind. In this beautifully illustrated children’s picture book, Nia introduces us to her unique family, where everyone looks a little different, and that is exactly what makes them special.

Written by Aida Kiraya and brought to life by illustrator Andi Andriansyah, Wonderful and Different, Just Like Me explores skin tones, hair textures, eye colors, and features like vitiligo in a way that is fun, relatable, and uplifting for young readers.

Perfect for children ages 3 and up, this diverse and inclusive picture book encourages self-love, celebrates identity, and helps spark meaningful conversations about difference, family, and belonging. All told through the honest and joyful voice of a child.

Whether you are reading at bedtime or during story time at school, this multicultural children’s book will leave little ones feeling proud of who they are and curious to learn about others.

This book is absolutely fantastic! It’s celebrates every single one of us for being exactly who we are different shapes, sizes, colours and abilities and shows that being different it’s something to be proud of. My son loved reading it, and it meant so much to see him recognise himself in pages and feel included and understood. It gave him such a lovely sense that we are all unique and wonderful in our own way. Thank you for writing something so kind and meaningful. I cannot wait for your next book.

Thank you Aida!

Beautifully written book with vibrant illustrations. As a retired teacher I would have added this to my library and I’ve got several assemblies planned in my mind (If you’re a teacher you’ll know😉) I purchased one for my grandson and one for his nursery and shall be recommending it to parents and grandparents too.
