We only have to look at the world around us to find diversity: cats, dogs, birds, people ... no two of us are exactly alike. Every creature is unique and every person has his or her own individual personality, talents, and interests. In We Are Different and Alike, author Cynthia Geisen helps young people understand and appreciate the diversity of the world around us and its many expressions in families, faiths, races, and cultures.

Cynthia Geisen has been working in ministry for 20 years. She has served as a chaplain, as an advocate for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, and as a pastor for congregations that are in transition. She has written several publications for Abbey Press Publications.
