Honk for "Honk!"

During the holidays, I had the pleasure of taking my 5 year old grandson,Cyrus to a production of "Honk," the musical based on Hans Christian Anderen's, "The Ugly Duckling." It was such an entertaining and meaningful production for children and adults. It was especially rewarding for me as the message was the same as it is for It's OK to be Different. Everyone needs to be accepted for who they are and not ridiculed for being different. I loved the words from one of the songs:
"Different isn't spiteful,
Different isn't wrong
So why is it so hard to get along?
I only want to get along.
Different isn't hateful,
Different could be swell.
Different is just...
Well...
Different"

Let's all embrace difference and model it for our children.
