Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

“This book does more than simply tell a single story of biracial experience: It talks about navigating everyday racism in sensitive, but frank, ways. This affirmation is just as important as the power phrase. . . . All children will benefit from this pitch-perfect discussion of race, identity, complexity, and beauty.”—starred, Kirkus Reviews
