This book is a culture-rich picture book that proudly showcases the beauty of diversity while also celebrating all the wonderful things we have in common. From skin, hair, and eyes in a multitude of colors to different personalities and interests, God gave us all special traits and characteristics that make us uniquely ourselves. And we all have things in common, too: sharing fun and laughter on the playground, a sense of curiosity, big feelings, and so many other things that show how we are all more alike than we are different.
I will most defiantly have this book in my classroom in the future. I feel that children need to understand that you don't have to look like your peers to be friends.
