I'm Different You're Different: Jenga the bonobo teaches a poignant lesson about using empathy to connect with others who are "different." Ridiculously cute photographs of bonobo apes illustrate the story of Jenga and Kaleb (a bald bonobo who looks different). At first, Jenga and his friends assume Kaleb is weird. But then empathy helps them move past their assumptions and get to know him. To their surprise and delight, Kaleb is funny and talented Jenga and his friends discover a wonderful lesson about finding the secret value in everyone, even the outcasts.
