The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson

5.0

I can't believe it took me so long to read this book!!  It's so sweet and colorful and absolutely tear-jerking.  To anyone who's ever felt less-than at school due to their race, ethnicity, or language skills, this is the book for you!!  Differences are incredible and valuable, and are what makes us, well, us.  This book celebrates those differences, celebrates not making yourself smaller in order to please others.  It's just absolutely joyous and amazing.  Don't miss out!!  Great for grades K-2.
