4 ⭐ I like this book much better than Peanut Goes for the Gold. It rhymes, it has cadence, and the message is fantastic. You are gorgeous no matter who you are and us together are even more beautiful. I loved everything about this. The illustrations by Kamala are perfect. They show a diversity of peoples and abilities and thoughts and ideas and it just all together makes a great book for any age of kid.

4.5 ⭐This book is adorable. It‘s about a ghost who instead of being a sheet is a quilt. It makes him move slower, makes them heavier, but it also makes them much cozier to the little girl that picks them up. There‘s another book in this series and I‘m looking forward to it. And the artwork while not completely black and white uses color sparingly so that way our quilt stands out. This book was a top read from first page to last.

TheLudicReader This author lives in my hometown. Her debut novel The Town That Drowned is excellent. She is an accomplished quilter, too. 3w
LibrarianRyan Nice!! I‘ll check that out. 3w

3 ⭐ 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.

julesG Of course it is. That's Murphy's Law, or so. Just like you have to get staining food/drink on your new shirt/jumper/trousers with your last bite/drink before leaving the house when you've only been wearing the item for about 3 minutes. 2mo
Centique This happens to my daughter all the time. Curly hair has super powers! 2mo

I *so* needed this read! The art is adorable & the running gag of endless silly rhyming even more so.

Here‘s the short, sweet succinctallo: Buffalo Fluffalo thinks he‘s toughallo because of his impressive fluffalo until a torrent of rain comesallo.

Oopsy doodallo, now you‘re small & bedraggledallo!

Only size isn‘t everything, sillyallo!

We all love you just the way you are…allo! 💕

Soscha I did hear in passing Mark Ruffalo is a big fan! 2mo

Vibrant, 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.

4 ⭐ 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
