“This is a wonderful book about a girl named Princess Diversity…she and another classmate are being picked on in class because they are different, but Princess Diversity stands up for them both because she remembers the Golden Rule, and she changes the mind of all the other students by reminding them that she and everybody else are all different in their own way, but we’re all one big family and each person is a precious jewel!
This book is a great lesson and example of the simple idea of living by the Golden Rule, treating others the way we want to be treated, and it was written as a universal message that can be shared with everyone…great illustrations too! I also loved the final page of the book which has some simple ideas, both for children and adults, on ways to “kick hate out of this world”! By: Trevor Stevens

“This is a lovely book that discusses the importance of following the golden rule not just for those of different races/colors, but also for those with disabilities. It is an essential message for all people, children and adults alike, to learn and practice in their daily lives. The illustrator also depicted the scenes very vividly and beautifully.” By: NFS

“This is a beautifully written book which I recommend teachers read to their grade school students. I myself am buying a few more copies to send to my children so they can read it to my grandchildren.” By: Claire Sheerin

“My niece and nephew really enjoyed this book. The message is very positive and a teaching moment for kids. Much needed book in today’s world. Well written and nice illustrations.” By: Nida U.

“Fabulous story which can help children overcome racism and bigotry whether they are the victims or the perpetrators. I would recommend it to anyone with young children.” By: Sandra Kece

“Great book to read with your kids for them to appreciate differences and diversity!!! My kids loved it!” By: Khadija-z

“A book for current times…. More than ever, we need to instill tolerance in our children. The world is much smaller now, with the internet, and we need to teach our children to love one another, to respect other people of different origins, those with different religions and those with disabilities. Great tool to help families and teachers in this much-needed lesson.” By: D. Winsey

A wonderful read to spread positive image, and self-esteem. The characters look real and easy to relate to. More books should be focused on how to spread the right message of tolerance towards differences! Highly recommended!” By:Zaibunnisa Tanvir
