Grow in Confidence and Compassion with Wonderfully Me Books! 

“Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me” is the first book written by Becky Zingale. Becky’s husband, Duane, and their younger daughter have the same syndrome as the main character in the book and movie “Wonder.” Becky wanted to a similar book for a younger audience. She looked for children’s books with pictures of children who have facial differences and wear Bone Conduction Hearing Aids. Unable to find any such books, Becky’s husband Duane, encouraged her to create the solution, by writing children’s books to share the stories of their family and friends. 

Becky wrote “Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me” not only for her own daughters, but so all children can see themselves represented in a story, whether they connect with a character’s personal challenges, physical appearance, interests, or personality. 

Children grow in confidence and compassion when they see themselves, and their friends in the story, and not just their differences represented, but the beautiful things about who they are and who they can become.

"Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me” is great resources for parents, teachers and medical professionals, and can be used in homes, churches, schools and waiting rooms to start conversations which promote inclusion, acceptance and friendship.
