This is the first book that my daughter ever interrupted story time to get up and grab because she wanted to read this instead. It's her current favorite.

I wish I had this book as a kid. It is a book on gender identity and diversity. It is about parts of ourselves that make up ourselves that may or may not conform to expectations of what is expected. It rhymes nicely and shows that being the inner you is best even if not everyone will like it.

So even if this book came out before My Shadow Is Purple, I discovered it after, and it felt less good in comparaison. Not because it isn't but because I loved the other one so much, that this one felt short. It still brought nice discussions, a less typical family format with the parent being a single dad. I also very much appreciate the positive message about masculinity, when he is not afraid to wear a pink dress to support his kid.
