Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me features a diverse group of children, celebrates each child’s unique strengths, and promotes inclusion, acceptance and friendship. 

Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me is the first book written by Becky Zingale. Becky’s husband, Duane, and their younger daughter have the same syndrome as the main character in the book and movie Wonder. Becky wanted to a similar book for a younger audience. She looked for children’s books with pictures of children who have facial differences and wear Bone Anchored Hearing Aids. Unable to find any such books, Becky’s husband Duane, encouraged her to create the solution, by writing children’s books to share the stories of their family and friends. Becky wanted not only her own daughter, but all children, to see themselves in Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me whether they connect with a character’s personal challenges, physical appearance, or personality.

If you are a parent, teacher, or medical professional assisting a child who has special needs, or feels a bit different, Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me will inspire your child on their journey.

Becky Zingale likes butterflies, sunflowers, board games, hiking, rock climbing, and building LEGO with her husband, Duane, and their two daughters, Chloe and Ariasha. Duane has the same facial syndrome as the main character in the book and movie Wonder. Ariasha was also born with facial differences and uses bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHAs), just like her dada. Becky began making headbands and accessories for BAHA-wearers and their siblings to help families like their own.

In 2020, the Zingale family was featured on the Born Different show. Their story has been viewed over 1.7 million times and sparked countless positive responses from families seeking to raise confident, compassionate children. This experience inspired Becky to begin writing children’s books so all children can see themselves represented in stories and feel seen and understood, whether they connect with a character’s challenges, physical appearance, interests, personality, or unique way of experiencing the world.

Wonderfully Me Books are a valuable resource for parents, teachers, and medical professionals and can be used in homes, churches, schools, childcare centers, and waiting rooms to spark meaningful conversations that promote inclusion, acceptance, and friendship.

Let’s grow in confidence and compassion together.
