This remarkable story shows what can happen when we choose to be kind. Share the inspirational message that we can all make a difference--no matter how big or small we are and no matter how big or small the task. This heartwarming tale about poverty, homelessness, and the kind, gentle love of Jesus will inspire kids to be difference makers.

Little Denver grew up very poor, and he didn't get to go to school. As time passed, Denver decided to hop a train to the big city for a different life. But that life was difficult, and Denver spent many years as a homeless man. Then God showed His love through two people who were very different from Denver.

Based on the New York Times bestseller Same Kind of Different As Me, which sold more than 2 million copies worldwide and inspired the major motion picture, this unique children's book includes Denver's original art. Parents and children alike will be moved by this powerful story and will never forget the unexpected and life-changing things that can happen when we help somebody.
