Miro a mi alrededor y qué veo?

Tantos niños que son diferentes a mi...

Eres diferente a todos los demás. Y a veces eso te hace sentir como un pez fuera del agua. Es posible que sientas que no encajas. Pero eres maravillosamente creado por Dios, ¡y también lo son los demás!

Únete a un grupo diverso de niños que trabajan juntos para llevar su globo gigante a un destino sorpresa. Disfruta su viaje, observa su progreso, y celebra cómo incluso un "pez fuera del agua" encuentra su lugar.

"Escrito con un texto de rima fantástica, este libro celebra y abraza la diversidad y singularidad y aún así enfatiza las maneras en que somos iguales. Se identifica con todas las etnias y pertenece en cada hogar y biblioteca de la escuela." --Crystal Bowman, autora galardonada y mejor vendida de más de 100 libros para niños.

I look all around me and what do I see?

So many kids who are different from me . . .

You're different from everyone else. And sometimes that leaves you feeling like a fish out of water. You might feel like you don't belong. But you're wonderfully created by God--and so is everyone else!

Join a group of diverse children working together to get their giant balloon to a surprise destination. Enjoy their journey, watch their progress, and celebrate their arrival as even a "fish out of water" finds belonging.

"Written with whimsical rhyming text, this book celebrates and embraces diversity and uniqueness, yet emphasizes the ways we are all alike. It's relatable to all ethnicities and belongs in every home and school library." --Crystal Bowman, award-winning, best-selling author of more than 100 books for children

Xochitl (So-Cheel) Dixon, author of Waiting for God: Trusting Daily in God's Plan and Pace, has a heart for intercessory prayer and enjoys being rooted in Scripture while growing with God's people. With more than twenty years of experience ministering to children, teens, and women, Xochitl now crosses generational and cultural boundaries internationally through her contributions to Our Daily Bread, God Hears Her, and her social media platforms.

Her service dog Callie is featured in all her children's books, including the 2021 ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist, Different Like Me and Diferente como yo.

She celebrates the differences and sameness of God's beautifully diverse and purposefully connected image-bearers, while serving as an advocate for disability awareness, inclusion, and equity. Though she suffers from chronic pain, fatigue, and limited mobility due to an upper thoracic back injury that occurred in 1992, Xochitl spreads the gospel and inspires others to love God and others with Spirit-empowered courage, confidence, and joy. She comes alongside readers around the world with vulnerability and transparency, sharing the truths of Scripture in life-applicable and relevant ways.

Xochitl has been married to her best friend, Dr. W. Alan Dixon Sr., since 1994. They live in Northern California and have two sons, two daughter-in-loves, and seven grandchildren. You can connect with Xochitl and Callie the Service Dog at www.xedixon.com.
