故事簡介“WhyAreWeNotTheSame?”
創作目的:
我在本地及國際幼稚園任教過幾年,作為一名註冊的幼稚園教師，我發現越來越多小朋友需要特殊教育的支援。這些孩子的能力和行為可能會引起其他孩子的不理解，甚至間接傷害到他們的友誼、自信心和情感。我認為這主要是因為其他孩子並不理解為什麼這些特殊教育需求的孩子與他們不同。如果不糾正這種觀念，這種不理解的態度可能會隨著他們的成長深植心中，影響他們看待世界的角度之一。
因此，我特別創作了一些故事書，以幼兒的角度來學習接納不同的人，學會尊重和珍惜多元化。透過這本故事書，我希望幼兒們能夠理解和欣賞與他們不同的人，並懂得尊重和關愛每個人的獨特性。我相信，培養這樣的價值觀將成為創造美好社會的基石。
標題和類型：
“Why Are We Not The Same?”是一個關於接受不同人的兒童道德故事。這個兒童故事關於接受自己不一樣的人與事物,幫助兒童讀者培養同理心、同情心和對他人的尊重，無論他們的背景或外表如何。

孩子們從這個故事中了解到接受與我們不同的人可以帶來美妙的新發現和人際關係。儘管改變可能會讓人不舒服，但擁有一顆開放和慈愛的心，可讓我們以美麗和意想不到的方式成長。通過閱讀這個故事，孩子們可以培養對他人的同理心、同情心和尊重，不論他們的背景或外表如何。這個故事希望讓小朋友受益，並幫助他們成為更友善和包容的人。

Author Bio:
As an accomplished early childhood educator with over five years of experience, I am passionate about crafting nurturing stories to inspire young minds. I have a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from the Education University of Hong Kong and am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education at The University of Hong Kong. Beyond my work in the classroom, I have the vision to share impactful stories with more children across Asia. I have self-published a few children's stories on Amazon and am eager to cooperate with a professional publisher to bring my stories to a wider audience. I have a treasure trove of creative ideas and high-quality stories specially designed for kindergarten-aged children. My stories aim to help children develop a stronger understanding of the world, build stronger social-emotional skills, and boost creativity, language, maths, and communication abilities. Some stories also cater to children with special needs, helping them see their positive qualities and build self-confidence and self-esteem. My stories employ an inquiry-based learning and play-based approach, which aligns with most local and international kindergarten curricula in Asia. As an author, my goal is to publish nurturing stories with positive messages that resonate with both children and adults. My vision is to positively impact as many children as possible through the medium of storytelling. I would love the opportunity to develop a long-term partnership with a publisher to craft and share many more of these stories.
