Written by Grace Byers, Illustrations by Keturah A. Bobo, Published by Balzer + Bray, 2018. (Picture Book, ages 3-7)

IMG_0294Sometimes you just need a book to tell kids that they are enough just the way they are. I have been seeing this book pop up on a lot of blogs and lists. I have to say mad props to illustrator Keturah A. Bobo for going with a simplistic yet beautiful style of illustration that is multicultural, inclusive and just plain fun.

BACKGROUND

Told in sparse rhyming verse a young girl celebrates life, diversity, acceptance of others, and her own intrinsic value. #OwnVoices

BEST FOR

A two minute read aloud. A great choice for a first day of preschool, daycare or school. Or to model empathy and acceptance.
