This was one of the first books I read shortly after marriage. It's loaded with wisdom that remains relevant 20 years later. My husband and I thank you Mr. Gray for being there to teach us how to communicate and understand each others beautiful differences.

So true! Learning that we all have different ways we communicate love helps us appreciate the way the one we love is trying to convey love to us!!!!

It's refreshing to read Dana's first-hand understanding of her experiences in the White House. I think, as a society today, we can all learn and benefit from listening and learning from both sides of the political spectrum.

I am so grateful and thankful for finding this information and will use it when the time comes.  Thank you!

I recommend this book to anyone wanting to know themselves better and anyone wanting to communicate with others better. The 10-Minute Quiz defines your primary and back-up colors. Once defined you will read about your personality type, your ideal careers, your ideal boss, your natural work related strengths, and your ideal work environment. You can then go on to read about people with color combinations different than yours and how to best communicate with each color combo. A very interesting yet easy book to read and comprehend.

You'll enjoy reading about 2 seemingly incompatible people learning to reach for what they want. They see each other for who they are, flaws and all and do not try to change the other. Quick read.

A wonderful book for children and for adults to understand that even though we may look different, we all are the same.

This is a charming story of how the color of our skin makes no difference when you need a friend. And it matters not to our Father in Heaven what color of our skin is, He loves us and cares about us. This is a necessary message in a country that is still plagued by the thought that one color must dominate the other. That message is: A lot more get accomplished if we love each other regardless of our differences.

This brings home how a family can live together for years and not really know each other until  everyone gets back to the basics - communicating, talking together. Good lessons here

We all should be so open and accepting of others and their differences. Learn from the innocent children. They follow their hearts.

The closeness and pure love for each other. They also had been taught honesty and responsibility. Their word was good. When it came to keeping promises, that was utmost of importance too

I loved sharing this with my elementary  classroom. I appreciate the connection to great literature and meaningful conversation. Presented in a beautiful way that even 9 year olds found powerful.

The authors revealed their deepest feelings, hopes and fears conversing on subjects which are usually private and personal. In doing so they learned much about their personalities. They got to know their teammates, and more importantly, about themselves.
It is wonderful to see how they evolve. In conversing, they turned from differentiating their religions to uniting them. At the same time, they bonded together spirituality. Wonderful book.

The first thing you will notice about the book is the beautiful illustrations. The story is told mainly by illustrations and the words are kept to a minimum.  So it will be easy for a child to enjoy and learn from this book.

The book is a wonderful tool for teaching the concepts of opposite.  The main characters are Alex a polar bear and Zina a penguin.  They live on opposite ends of the earth, they are the opposite color and of course opposite in size.  There are other differences - some real some made up but the point is the story line drives home the concept of opposites.

Of course the overriding story is that opposites can still be friends - that they can be totally different and still get along.

So a child can enjoy this book on a few different levels.  First just the illustrations and the basic lesson about being opposite.  A child can also learn a lot about the shape and characteristics of the earth - the poles and what they are like.  On a much deeper level, a child can learn about the concept of opposites being friends.  This is a wonderful teaching tool.  The lessons can be learned on a deeper level with each reading.

I believe we need more people teaching how opposites can get along than our current attitude of emphasizing our differences.
