My Friend Cullen

My Friend Cullen is a inclusive children's story about friendship, understanding, and celebrating the ways we are all uniquely made.

Through simple language and warm illustrations, young readers are introduced to Cullen, a kind and joyful child who may do some things differently, but loves, learns, and plays just like everyone else. As classmates get to know Cullen, they begin to notice not what makes him different, but what makes him a wonderful friend.

This story encourages children to approach differences with curiosity, empathy, and kindness. It opens the door to meaningful conversations about inclusion, abilities, and how everyone belongs - both inside and outside the classroom.

Perfect for children ages 4-8, My Friend Cullen is a valuable resource for parents, teachers, and caregivers who want to nurture compassion and understanding from an early age. Whether read at home or shared in a classroom setting, this book helps children learn that friendship grows when we take the time to see one another with open hearts.

My Friend Cullen is part of the All Kinds of Friends collection, created to support inclusive learning and celebrate the beauty of diversity in every community.
