Thank you NetGalley and First Publish Books for a Spanish eARC. 


I was lucky enough to read this novel in Spanish and it was such a great read! I loved the message of this novel. It’s an amazing story about self-acceptance and learning to love yourself. It challenges anti-Blackness as something that has been passed down through generations and we have to unlearn and decolonize that mindset. It challenges these issues in a way that young readers would comprehend. I feel so many will relate to this story. The illustrations are gorgeous and perfectly placed.
