Amelia Press, the children’s book division of No Frills Buffalo publishing company, has released “Different or the Same?” by local author and Orchard Park resident Kathleen Mancuso.
“Different or the Same?” is an amazing mix of what childhood brings. Young children will adore the beautiful, repetitive language that lends itself to an important message about diversity, through understanding differences. Illustrated by Monica Gartler, the book’s artwork is very unique! Loose, textural handling of the media lends itself well to the text, and the simplistic and repetitive text allows children to not only enjoy the book, but join in on the fun! The illustrations are soft, detailed and lifelike.
Mancuso has worked for the Williamsville Central School District for many years, mainly in kindergarten classrooms. The children in those classes are the inspiration for her book. She has two adult children and two grandchildren, and is currently working on three new children’s books.
Gartler has won numerous awards for her artwork. She has published a novel, “Beyond the Horizon,” a supernatural thriller by Tate publishing, and is currently working as an actress in Los Angeles.
