Reviews
"This needed story celebrates individuality and is a ­reminder that every child moves at their own their own pace, and that it's okay to find happiness in solitude. Heartwarming and thought-­provoking, this book encourages readers to embrace their unique qualities and appreciate the diversity of the world around them. VERDICT A valuable addition to any library or classroom collection." --School Library Journal

"Casting America as both the new kid at school and this story's narrator, McKinnon and Phuong roll out a historical welcome wagon. In Phuong's cool-hued, portrait-forward images, characters emerge from books to encourage the protagonist." --Publishers Weekly
