A warm, gentle picture book about being different, finding belonging, and learning that being yourself is enough.
In a very red world full of bright, shiny apples, one little green apple feels like he does not quite fit in.
The red apples laugh together.
They talk together.
They fit together.
The green apple watches from the side and wonders what it would feel like to belong. He tries to be more like the others, but the harder he tries, the less like himself he feels.
Then something quiet begins to change.
With soft watercolor illustrations and heartfelt storytelling, The Green Apple in a Very Red World helps children understand big feelings in a gentle way. Perfect for children who have ever felt different, left out, quiet, or unsure of where they belong.
A sweet picture book for parents, teachers, classrooms, libraries, and bedtime reading.
This book reminds children:
Being different is okay.
Belonging does not mean changing who you are.
Being yourself is enough.
About the Author
Jaiveer Singh Rawal is an 11-year-old student from New York City and a passionate young storyteller. He loves noticing everyday moments, big feelings, and the little things that help children feel seen.
Jaiveer is proud to be a Sikh boy growing up in a diverse city. At school, he is often the only student wearing a patka, a Sikh head covering he wears with pride. That experience has helped him understand what it feels like to be different.
Through this story, Jaiveer hopes to encourage kindness, confidence, and the courage to be yourself. Most of all, he wants every child who reads this book to remember one simple thing:
Being yourself is enough.
