This is story told in four voices. Two of the characters are in Vermont and two are in Seattle, and each is trying to find their place in the world. They face bullying and difficulty, but react with kindness and grow from their experiences. Their kindness brings them together and let‘s them know they‘re not alone. The story specifically promotes acceptance and kindness for nonbinary and trans youth.

It‘s a dreary, rainy Saturday morning, so I baked a batch of muffins and am reading a few chapters of this book.

I love the way Braden frames kids lives in rural Vermont. I see many of my students in this character.

Picked up this book because of the cover. 😍 But the story in side is just as beautiful! Libby comes from a long line of bullies and wants to be different. Vincent lives across the country and is being bulled for being different. T is living on a rainy sidewalk trying to survive. Jack has a big heart and lives in a rural town and just wants to keep his school open but doesn‘t understand changes that need to be made to his school. 👇🏻

Lovesbooks87 👆🏻But when a message of hope is sent to one of these child a chain reaction is sat into motion and even though all those kids live in different places of the country all of them will be touched with messages of hope. These messages will show them empathy, have to be brave and understanding. I loved the message that this amazing book gave! (edited) 4y
