This is such an important book that will be valuable for so many readers. It handles microaggresions and racism in a way that is easy for kids to relate to and understand, and is a joyful celebration of the aspects big and small that make up our identities. I really like that the main character's identity is defined primarily by what he values and not physical characteristics that others think should define him.

Beautiful illustrations. The rhythm of the words are perfect. This book is what I need in my classroom. I will use it as part of our what makes me unit. Thank you for the opportunity to read this beautiful book.
