Maybe I missed something? This book seemed to be trying to get a lot accomplished in a short amount of time. I didn’t really buy it. Plus the adult characters seemed highly useless. The messages were sweet and the diversity was of course wonderful, but I wonder if it would have been more successful if we had just focused on one main character.

This book was AMAZING and BEAUTIFULLY written!! Libby, Jack, Vincent, and T each tell their story throughout individual chapters and verse. They are looking for hope, love, and acceptance in this interwoven story that spans the country, Seattle to Vermont, starting with an act of kindness.

Libby, a budding artist that wants to add color to the world and find her place within her family.
Jack has a big heart and wants to fight to keep his one-room schoolhouse in Vermont open.
Vincent who loves triangles gets bullied for being different and shoved into a locker every day.
T who is living on the street just wants to be accepted for who they are by their family.

I recommend this book for all the people who need to find their way in this world and for those who just want to make this place a better place for everyone.

This book was so good. It took a while for all the pieces to fall in place but when they did it was perfect. This book was so lovely and I would recommend it to anyone. I loved the idea of how one little thing can change the course of someone else’s life.
