★ "A wonderful celebration of global friendship." --Bookpage, starred review

"This story encourages young people to focus on the similarities that connect us in one human family. Highly recommended for all collections." --School Library Journal

"Two pen pals delight in their differences and commonalities.... Bright, mixed-media illustrations visually emphasize difference as a means of connection." --Kirkus Reviews

A pen pal picture book companion to the award-winning and bestselling Same, Same but Different--set in the United States and Tanzania--that celebrates the value of compassion, curiosity, and a global community.

Tulsi and Vanessa live on separate continents--one in the mountains in North America, and the other beside the sea in Africa. By exchanging letters, they learn that they both have prankster brothers, love music, and collect treasures from nature. Their daily sights and sounds may be different, but their feelings about their experiences hold many similarities.

This thoughtful story celebrates the connections between two kids who live worlds apart. Together they rejoice in their shared love of family, friends, and community.
