How We're Different — Linda Lee

A book about people, homes and communities -

This book is dedicated to all children and their parents, in hopes that they will never display prejudice, nor bare the burden of facing prejudice. I hope they will see people for who they are inside, not whom they are outside.

I thank:


My grandchildren: Aaron, Isaiah, Elijah, Nicholas, Joshua, Jacob, Sierra and Jeremiah without whom I never would have realized a need for this book.


Samantha, whom I have seen grow from a beautiful baby to a lovely young lady. She has had to fight racial prejudice all her life, and yet, has overcome that obstacle and dedicated herself to become an accomplished clarinetist. I believe she will go a long way with her determination.

I would also like to thank everyone who gave me the courage and encouragement to write this book.
