2024 American Legacy Book Awards in children's nonfiction
This remarkable story shows what can happen when we choose to be kind. Share the inspirational message that we can all make a difference--no matter how big or small we are and no matter how big or small the task. This heartwarming tale about poverty, homelessness, and the kind, gentle love of Jesus will inspire kids to be difference makers.
Little Denver grew up very poor, and he didn't get to go to school. As time passed, Denver decided to hop a train to the big city for a different life. But that life was difficult, and Denver spent many years as a homeless man. Then God showed His love through two people who were very different from Denver.
Based on the New York Times bestseller Same Kind of Different As Me, which sold more than 2 million copies worldwide and inspired the major motion picture, this unique children's book includes Denver's original art. Parents and children alike will be moved by this powerful story and will never forget the unexpected and life-changing things that can happen when we help somebody.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2019Thank you so much Denver and Ron, truly. Santa brought this book for our 4 year old son. I read the book to him tonight and I could see as I read it, it prompted a lot of emotions, making him think. He was sad when I read about Denver being homeless and at the end of the book I asked if he wanted to talk about it or if he had any questions. He did want to talk. He wanted to know what we would do if we didn’t have food. He wanted to know if Denver felt sad. The sweetest part was him saying we could help feed people if they don’t have food. It touched my heart and I just want to give you my heart felt “thank you” from a Momma doing her best to raise a son that will make a difference in this world. It starts with one.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2020This is a wonderful read for families with young kids. It’s easy to follow and the youngest of children can understand and learn from this well written book.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2017Love this children’s book! I want our children to know they have responsibilities to serve others. I can see it leading into conversations about other races of children in their classes at school.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2017If you have never read the original book ( not for kids version ) you are missing something that is an essential read.
If you work with blessed poor, homeless, hungry or displaced or if you are thinking about it, read the original book and then,
get this to share with your children.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2017Really great story and works for my 6 year old.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2018Really didn't want kids to learn that some churches don't help people who sit on their doorsteps. Grow up thinking that all churches do help. Find out later when you're old enough to understand how some don't rise to the calling.
