Black and White Like Me: An Adventure Through the Zoo and Into What Makes Us Special (Black and White Like You & Me)

An unforgettable zoo adventure that helps children explore identity,celebrate differences, and find connection in the most unexpected places. Morgan and Jaden are two curious, biracial children on a quest to find animals who are black and white–just like them. As they journey through the zoo, they meet penguins in tuxedos, striped zebras, fluffy pandas, and clever snow leopards. But something still feels missing... until they meet each other. Told in two heartwarming parts–first from Morgan’s perspective and then from Jaden’s–Black and White Like Me gently introduces young readers to big ideas about diversity, identity, and belonging. With vivid illustrations and child-friendly language, this picture book is a joyful celebration of what makes us the same, what makes us different, and how friendships are often found when we least expect them. Perfect for: Parents seeking inclusive stories for biracial or multiracial children Teachers and librarians looking for diverse classroom read-aloud activities Social-emotional learning (SEL) discussions about self-acceptance and empathy Gift-givers who want meaningful, conversation-starting books Bonus for Parents & Educators: You’ll find a thoughtfully written set of Discussion Questions at the back of the book to help children engage more deeply with the story’s themes. These prompts are ideal for classrooms, homeschool environments, or bedtime conversations and are designed to spark meaningful dialogue about race, identity, and the value of human connection. Whether you are a teacher guiding a classroom discussion or a parent answering curious questions, these prompts makes it easier to support the social-emotional growth of the young readers in your life. Black and White Like Me is more than just a story - it's a gentle invitation to celebrate the beauty of being uniquely you.
