so-so3 ⭐ This book is fine. The illustrations are soft and dreamlike and while the story does rhyme and does have a cadence, that cadence is soft in areas. The story‘s about how everyone‘s different and that is perfectly OK because everyone is who they were made to be. I like the message in this book and overall it works well. But to me it‘s only so so.

We all love you just the way you are…allo! 💕
pickVibrant, joyful and positive. Being you isn‘t always easy. Having (and being) a good friend makes all the difference.
A strong message told in rhyme, with very appealing pictures.
Author is Jonathan Van Ness of Queer Eye.

pick4 ⭐ Susan Verde and Peter Reynolds are a bestselling team for a reason. Their books are colorful and heartfelt and have an important message that all kids need to hear. The message in this book is that “I am me” no matter what. That everyone is different and that‘s exactly the way it should be. That everyone is unique and have the things that make them special. And that no matter who you are or how you look or how you act I am me and you are you
“They are Mama and Amah and Mei-Mei. They are me. And they are beautiful.“
This is a great book to read in your classroom! It can serve as a window and/or a mirror!
