Summary
You have to wonder what they’re thinking. The other people.
They’re not from here. They’re over there.
They’re different.
Standing by the hedge that divides them, two children wonder what the people on the opposite side are like. They're not like us, one child insists. The other child wonders: How are they different? Can they fly? Do they have tentacles? Are they machines? Or are they human? And if they are, do they think and feel? Maybe, just maybe, the people here and the people there are not so different after all.
Written with gentle humor and illustrated with spare, emotionally powerful pictures, Others is a thoughtful exploration of how our assumptions can prevent us from connection and a beautiful reminder that we are all human beings living together on this earth.

Critic reviews
“[An] exercise in curiosity and empathy.”—The Horn Book
“A great way to teach perspective to your little one.”—First Time Parent magazine
“Yamada’s books probe big ideas for all readers. The characters in Others question differences and similarities between their groups . . . and eventually the hedge becomes less a barrier than a bridge to seeing the world anew.”—The Seattle Times
“Probing text, made up entirely of dialogue, pairs cleverly designed layouts for a compelling tale that suggests that it’s ignorance that truly divides us—and knowledge that unites us. A thoughtful story time pick to get little ones asking big questions.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Yamada and Santoso firmly challenge assumptions about ‘others’ in this picture book composed as a dialogue between two children . . . bound to reverberate for readers.”—Publishers Weekly
