Seven-year-old Montessori student Elijah Rudolph of Pennsylvania has published his first book, Different Isn’t a Dirty Word. Eli received support from his Gettysburg Montessori Charter School community, family and friends at a book signing on April 7 and sold out of books at the event. Eli was interviewed by his local news station ABC27 about the book that addresses celebrating what makes us unique.


In the interview, Eli’s mother, Margaret, said, “The writing was all him. I just have been a very supportive enthusiastic partner in the experience.”
