Jacqueline Woodson is becoming a kidlit staple for a reason. She is great at communicating a lot with very little, where Lopez's art seems to never stop moving.

Gorgeously illustrated children's book celebrating differences in culture.

Loved this! Can definitely relate to the characters in this book in some ways and I just think this is the perfect book for kids (of color or not) who might be different, not get to eat the cool foods other kids do, not get to go on vacation far away on summer break bc of money problems, etc.

When you love the letters on book jacket and it gets even better from there...

Yaahhh udah dewasa begini pun teman kita yang minoritas pasti banyak dikucilkan hmmm...

Gorgeous illustrations and a really good read for kids who feel different.

This is going to be one of the most important books to have in your library, regardless of the ages you teach.

I am absolutely in love with this story. A story of pride in self, fear of not fitting in, and ultimately belonging, it is a welcoming book about discovering the perspective to find your place as part of a community. This is a must-own book for teachers and librarians, and parents, and a must-share for all kids, no matter their ages. It is beautiful, destined to be a new classic, and one that should be shared widely. This book is going to be one to treasure for the beginning of the school year, and any time you need kids to be reminded of the message of being welcoming to others and discovering often we are more alike than different.

Seriously, Jacqueline Woodson is one of the literary loves of my life and this book only reinforces that love!

Everyone is different, no one is quite like you, but maybe, maybe you'll meet people and the world opens a bit more to make space for you, where everyone adds something new to the world.

Quite possibly my favorite picture book I’ve read - and there have been some great ones so far! I think so much of what this sweet story talks about can also relate into adulthood, and the importance of remembering to be open to human connections. So moving, and gorgeous artwork
