We Are All the Same, One and All

About the Book

All children, regardless of any difference, should be catered for equally within a program. Inclusion is an ongoing process. People can often be thoughtful not to exclude a child with an obvious difference, but sometimes it is the difference that are not as obvious or the small differences that separate us the most. Differences are not a negative thing—how boring life would be if we were all the same. Tolerance and acceptance are two different things that I want us all to accept.

About the Author

Mandii is one of four children and has three beautiful children of her own. Mandii volunteers anywhere she is needed and gives a great deal of her time and talent without expectation of praise or appreciation. She is an unassuming, caring, and giving person with a strong work ethic, sense of responsibility, and willingness to help babies to grandparents. Mandii has artistic flair in many areas, and her gorgeous daughter Kasey is following in her footsteps. They both underestimate their talents and, in spite of life altering illnesses, bring great joy and love to anyone open to their friendship. Mandii epitomizes the saying "It is better to give that to receive." Every day I have reason to feel proud and privileged to call Mandii my daughter, my confidant, and very special friend.
