Selection Statement:

This was my favorite book as a child. It celebrates the diversity of people, choices, traditions, and cultures, and normalizes our similarities and differences. I was always drawn toward those who were different from me and I grew up with friends and caregivers from many countries around the world. Now, as a parent and scientist studying child development, I have an even stronger appreciation for books that can help children learn about and appreciate the beauty of differences between people. ifferences between people.
