What Makes Us Unique? provides an accessible introduction to the concept of diversity, teaching children how to respect and celebrate people's differences and that ultimately, we are all much more alike than we are different. Additional questions at the back of the book allow for further discussion.

Die Sommerferien sind vorbei und Cecilies Leben ein einziger Trümmerhaufen. Sie hat sich mit Julie und Helena zerstritten und von Kasper hat sie seit der Aktion im Freibad auch nichts mehr gehört. Doch zum Glück kann sie sich mit dem neuen Mädchen in der Klasse anfreunden. Anna haust mit ihrer Schwester in einer Gartenkolonie, trägt Lederjacken und ummalt sich die Augen mächtig schwarz. Als sich zudem herausstellt, dass Anna so einiges von Magie weiß beschließt Cecilie ihr das Magische Buch zu zeigen. Anna findet Cecilie sollte sich auf jeden Fall an Kasper rächen aber ob das wirklich eine so gute Idee ist? Das Magische Buch sagt doch, wenn Magie von einem gebraucht wird um anderen zu Schaden kommt es am Ende noch viel Schlimmer für einen selbst. Eine Warnung, die Cecilie vielleicht hätte ernster nehmen sollen bevor sie die erste Nadel in ihre Kasper-Puppe steckte.
