Adriana Evans’ storybook on diversity, inclusion, and self-esteem will be exhibited at the 2020 LA Times Festival of Books

What better way to teach children about diversity, inclusion, acceptance, and self-esteem than through a children’s book? Adriana Evans did just that with “Different.”
 
Self-published with Createspace and illustrated by Noemi Raczova, “Different” addresses diversity, inclusion, acceptance of differences, and self-esteem. It tells the story of a small, fuzzy, crooked poppy flower that grows among a field of beautiful, straight tulips. She can’t help but start comparing herself to them, feeling very self-conscious and, well, different.
 
Evans shares the inspiration for her children’s book:

“Being a parent of a child on the Autism Spectrum, I have first-handedly witnessed and experienced the struggles and frustrations of someone who doesn’t fit in. Having struggled with the inflexibility of the society’s systems while trying to advocate for my child for many years has ultimately landed me in a place where I started to feel a need to transform our frustrations and anger into something useful and purposeful, something that would inspire a positive change in the world. And so this beautiful story came to life because and out of all of our personal experience.”
 
The author hopes to encourage and empower all children who feel like they don’t belong or fit in. Inspirational
 
“I hope you will find my book suitable and its message relevant and useful and worthy of supporting and spreading through the world.”
