This is a beautifully illustrated book that is cleverly written. It is written as a conversation to the reader. It is intended to be read aloud or to a child. It asks the child to think about themselves, about others and especially about race. The message is that no matter what people say, we are all made up of the same parts and we are all the same. Our race does not make us better than others.
This book is great to be read aloud to children because of the discussion that is encouraged from this book. The author asks a lot of questions to the reader that are important for children to think about and talk about in a safe space like a classroom. A great lesson in equality to be taken away from reading and discussing this text.
