Ok so first of all this book is super important. I fully believe that acquainting children with topics like vitiligo is essential in making them more tolerant. And this book is really sweet and nice for the most part.
HOWEVER I would have preferred this book to be written by someone who shares the main character's experiences of being black and having vitiligo.
Because as someone who has vitiligo I did feel the representation to not be super accurate and I also didn't LOVE the POC representation.

This book reminded me of the Kate DiCamillo books I've read. The style is different, but it has that same trick of tackling big, difficult life stuff in child size bites. Despite revolving around death, grief, bullying, and stress induced physical changes, this is a sweet, lovely story.
