Stories for Kids Who Dare to Be Different: True Tales of Amazing People Who Stood Up and Stood Out

I’m not impressed that my niece can’t even read her Christmas gift because some of the stories are not appropriate! Will be returning this.

A book I always like to gift kids. My 7 year old read it alone and highly recommend by both of us

Great book, arrived quickly

There is a lot of valuable information in this book, but I feel it needs a bit of a disclaimer. The first 3 stories I read were about children and people living through horribly violent or oppressive or just generally terrible conditions and scenarios. I was surprised to see the first story illustration depicting a kid with an AK-47. I fully realize that the violence endured by these individuals is an integral part of the story, but I don’t find it appropriate for my younger children. If you are ready to have some raw truth chats with your children about why certain things happen, then this book is a great gateway. I will save it until my kids are a bit older.The attached photo is the first story in the book.

I thought this book was going to be learning about children and people in history. There were very violent and disturbing stories that I would not read to my grandkids. One of a child that was in their classroom when someone walked in with a gun and killed this child's classmates. Another was of a child living in a 3rd world country during a war when there home was bombed. Very frightening and overwhelming stories for children
