This book is so special. My children are M I X E D and it is crucial for them to have books like this where they can see themselves represented. Moreover, books like these need to be in every. single. classroom. This story is wonderful to teach ALL children that we come from different backgrounds, but still have so many similarities that bring us together. Not everyone has to be just like us. They're not worse, or better, just different.
Hernandez’s sweet analogy is simple but kid friendly and may prompt meaningful conversations for young readers and their parents—along with a baking project or two... An informative, thoughtful story that encourages appreciation of diverse backgrounds.
